Abstract
Many accidents and incidents are occurred in the medical fields. The medication is related to many of these errors, and some of errors are caused by order entry system. These are concern with the drug name similarity. We developed the system that was able to judge the similarity of the drug names objectively in 2001, and through a psychological experiment, we remodeled this system. As a result, it came to be able to avoid similarity of the new drug’s name. This paper summarizes how to prevent medication errors caused by order entry system.
