Computer science is used in checking prescription accuracy primarily through automated systems that utilize image recognition and machine learning algorithms. These systems can scan prescription labels and medication bottles to verify that the correct medication is being dispensed. Additionally, software can cross-check prescriptions against patient records to flag any potential drug interactions or errors before the prescriptions are finalized and sent out. This technology enhances the efficiency and accuracy of the medication dispensing process, supporting pharmacists in their responsibilities while ensuring patient safety.
