What do Australian consumers pharmacists and prescribers think about documenting indications on prescriptions and dispensed medicines labels?: A qualitative study

摘要

BackgroundDocumenting the indication on prescriptions and dispensed medicines labels is not standard practice in Australia. However, previous studies that have focused on the content and design of dispensed medicines labels, have suggested including the indication as a safety measure. The aim of this study was to investigate the perspectives of Australian consumers, pharmacists and prescribers on documenting the indication on prescriptions and dispensed medicines labels.
