Pharmaceutical companies can promote a culture of compliance and error prevention by providing ongoing training, conducting regular audits, implementing robust documentation systems, encouraging open communication about errors, and ensuring that employees understand the importance of their work in patient safety.

To prevent medication mix-ups and packaging errors, pharmaceutical companies use barcoding systems, automated packaging equipment, color-coded labels, and visual inspection systems. Verification processes are also in place to confirm that the correct medication and dosage are being packaged.

Automation plays a significant role in reducing human errors by automating repetitive and critical tasks, such as drug formulation and packaging. Automated systems can minimize dosage discrepancies, contamination risks, and labeling errors.
