[Automation of the medication circuit to ensure patient safety]

Abstract

The medication circuit is a complex, transversal and risky process. It involves interdependent clinical and logistical stages. Its automation and computerisation are real levers for securing the patient's medication management and optimising the organisation of care. It allows care staff to free up precious time to provide care, particularly in geriatrics.
