Abstract

Healthcare providers perceive a strong professional and social responsibility to prevent medication waste yet feel bound by limited resources available to engage in individualized prescribing and dispensing. Situational factors, including leadership, organizational awareness and strong collaborations, could help healthcare providers to engage in individualized prescribing and dispensing. Through the identified themes, this study offers directions for designing and implementing an individualized prescribing and dispensing program to prevent medication waste.
