: Automated dispensing systems have been applied for maintaining medication safety, improving drug distribution, and reducing the risk of medication errors in different pharmacy practice. Automation reduces the time which may authorize the pharmacists to take an interest all the more complete with direct patient consideration. Automated dispensing machines maintain equilibrium of accessibility, stock control of medications, and protection which were the main features of a safe medication distribution system. It is providing to patients with a high probability of unsuitable medication use however cannot be viewed as a patent medicine for every single such patient. It could lead to prompt the ceaseless rehashing of recommended treatments without the fundamental re-evaluation. It is in this manner proposed that automatic dispensing should be linked with medication review and regular patient counselling. Encourage the timely administration of drugs through expanding their access to patient care units and First-dose availability was improved in automated dispensing machines. Physicians allow treatment efficiently by providing convenient access to medications of critically ill patients for emergencies during and after pharmacy hours with automated dispensing machines. This investigation demonstrates that the nature of pharmacotherapy for patients with automated dose dispensing can be improved. It recommends that every patient with automatic dose dispensing ought to go through a careful medication review through prescribers and pharmacists. It focuses on the automatic drug dispensing effect of a medication review in patients. The ideal recurrence for conducting medication reviews and follow-up will likely contrast between individual patients.

Abstract Purpose: This study assesses the dosimetric leaf gap (DLG) correction factor in Mobius3D commissioning affected by a couch top platform and calculates the optimal DLG value according to the point dose difference function. Methods: DLG optimizations were performed for 3 LINAC machines and a total of 30 patient VMAT plans (i.e., 10 plans per each LINAC). Point dose calculations were performed using an automatic dose calculation system in Mobius3D as well as Mobis3D calculation using an MVP-based QA plan with a carbon fiber couch top. Subsequently, the results were compared with measurement data. Results: The averaged point dose measured for the MVP with a couch top decreased by approximately 2% relative to that without the couch top. The average of the optimal DLG factors increased by 1.153 due to the couch top effect for a dose decrease of 2% at the measured point. Conclusions: Users should adjust the DLG correction factor using a specific phantom (including MVP) with a couch top. If the factor adjusted by using MVP automatic dose calculation system, the factor should be increased by approximately 1.153 per 2% dose difference considering user’s couch top effect.

Objective: The new 2013/59 EURATOM Directive (ED) demands dosimetric optimisation procedures without undue delay. The aim of this study was to optimise paediatric conventional radiology examinations applying the ED without compromising the clinical diagnosis. Methods: Automatic dose management software (ADMS) was used to analyse 2678 studies of children from birth to 5 years of age, obtaining local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in terms of entrance surface air kerma. Given local DRL for infants and chest examinations exceeded the European Commission (EC) DRL, an optimisation was performed decreasing the kVp and applying the automatic control exposure. To assess the image quality, an analysis of high-contrast resolution (HCSR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and figure of merit (FOM) was performed, as well as a blind test based on the generalised estimating equations method. Results: For newborns and chest examinations, the local DRL exceeded the EC DRL by 113%. After the optimisation, a reduction of 54% was obtained. No significant differences were found in the image quality blind test. A decrease in SNR (−37%) and HCSR (−68%), and an increase in FOM (42%), was observed. Conclusion: ADMS allows the fast calculation of local DRLs and the performance of optimisation procedures in babies without delay. However, physical and clinical analyses of image quality remain to be needed to ensure the diagnostic integrity after the optimisation process. Advances in knowledge: ADMS are useful to detect radiation protection problems and to perform optimisation procedures in paediatric conventional imaging without undue delay, as ED requires.
