Abstract

Significant increases occurred in the proportion of DAAs experiencing incidents of added medicines and inaccurate medicine division (p!0.001). However, when compared to the total number of incidents identified, unsuitable medicine packing (p!0.001) and omitted medicines (p!0.001) significantly decreased. The majority of incidents identified post-intervention were of a lower risk category. Conclusions: The overall DAA incident rate increased post-intervention, however, certain incident types occurred less frequently and incident severity decreased overall. An intervention more specifically designed for the RACF or pharmacy, targeting specific DAA incident types, may be more successful at reducing the occurrence of DAA incidents and improving pharmacy medicine supply to RACFs.
