Conclusion: Application of modification prescriptions forms, structured prescribing training program, strict legislation measures relating to drugs prescriptions and development of system by applying CPOE and CDSS are among the necessary intervention (s) that may reduce the prescription errors, increase the patient safety and protect them from medication errors.
