Introduction: Medication errors are common, with studies reporting at least one error perpatient encounter. At hospital discharge, medication errors vary from 15%-38%. However,studies assessing the effect of an internally developed electronic (E)-prescription systemat discharge from an emergency department (ED) are comparatively minimal. Additionally,commercially available electronic solutions are cost-prohibitive in many resource-limitedsettings. We assessed the impact of introducing an internally developed, low-cost E-prescriptionsystem, with a list of commonly prescribed medications, on prescription error rates at dischargefrom the ED, compared to handwritten prescriptions.
