Medication Dispensing Errors in Community Pharmacies: A Nationwide Study

Author(s): Flynn, E. A., Dorris, N. T., Holman, G. T., Camahan, B. J., Barker, K. N

Although the dispensing process may be essentially the same, the validity of extending these findings to community pharmacies has yet to be tested.
