PDL has shared important guidance to help pharmacists reduce errors when dispensing e-scripts. To make it easier to follow, we’ve summarised their recommendations into a simple 3-step process: **Verify Patient Details**, **Match the Prescription**, and **Final Product Check**. This streamlined approach ensures accuracy at every stage, from confirming patient information to matching medications and conducting a final clinical assessment. By adopting this method, pharmacists can enhance patient safety and maintain professional standards. Print out this easy-to-remember process and place it in a visible spot in your pharmacy to keep these best practices top of mind for your entire team.
