Abstract | We recently tested the impact of colour-coded compartmentalised syringe trays on drug error detection in 40 volunteers and found improved visual search efficacy compared with conventional drug handling trays. 2 Although not acknowledged in our paper, the use of colour-coded compartmentalised trays addresses four of the five ‘S's’ described by Moore and Webster-Edge: sort, straighten, shine, and standardise. We believe the data generated by our work demonstrate the collective impact of these four processes on task performance in a laboratory setting. |
