摘要：The twenty-first century is witnessing considerable changes in health care professions, including the nursing profession, and information technology is playing an important role in this transformation. Although, medication errors significantly affect the patient, but they are preventable events. This way, and also for the importance in the nurses' education, this study determined the impact of changing from a unit dose to an automated medication dispensing system (ADS) through all phases of the drug therapy process. The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCCMERP) taxonomy was used to measure medication errors. The use of the ADS showed a tendency towards a better classification of B/A category errors. Based on the new evidence in informatics is vital that we continue integrated and strengthened the educational curriculum with the new technologies to continue improving our health care system. It is important that nurses continue enhancing their competencies oriented in patient-centered.
