The role of community pharmacists in preventing medication errors in Armenia. Master of Public Health integrating experience project. Problem solving framework to be presented to: Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia

Abstract

This project focuses on MEs that occur in pharmacies and the role of community pharmacists in their prevention. MEs can be reduced by clearly defining the roles of community pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and by requiring a licensed pharmacist to be present at pharmacies throughout the working day, who will be responsible for each dispensed medicine. A multicomponent analysis of key determinants will provide better understanding of recommended strategies and interventions for prevention of MEs.
