The increasing cost associated with medication errors is anticipated to drive the growth of the pharmacy management system market in the future. Medication errors occur during the prescribing, dispensing, and administration phases, potentially causing harm to patients. These errors result from complex medication regimens, poor communication among healthcare providers, and limitations in medication administration technology. A pharmacy management system mitigates medication errors by automating prescription processes, ensuring accurate patient data management, checking drug interactions, providing real-time access to patient medication histories, and improving the accuracy and safety of medication dispensing. For example, in March 2024, the World Health Organization reported that medication errors cost between $42 and $100 billion annually. Consequently, this escalating cost is fueling the demand for pharmacy management systems.
