The Labelling Standard is designed to reduce the risk of patient harm from injectable medicines by helping healthcare professionals identify the correct injectable medicine or fluid (container), route of administration of the injectable medicine (conduit) and patient for whom the medicine is intended.
The National guidelines for on-screen presentation of discharge summaries specify the sequence, layout and format of the core elements of hospital discharge summaries, as displayed in clinical information systems.
These guidelines are intended for those developing, assessing, procuring and implementing IT systems for medication management and electronic prescribing to:
Understand how design contributes to patient safety
Apply the recommendations during software development and iteration
