Dispensing medications in the exact ordered dose, in a ready-to-administer form is a medication safety best practice, but one not always acknowledged. A recent study quantified the increased drug and human resource costs associated with waste of controlled substances, further supporting the recommendation to match product availability with prescribed therapy.
