Nurse used to be the first one to be investigated in a drug adverse event. Our newly hospital-wide implemented home-made mobile chemotherapy medication support system, which has released our nurses from the traditional heavy 2-nurse-double-checking loading, was unexpectedly used to protect our nurses from being suspected in a recent event of over delivery of infusion. The outcome turned us to reexamine the device maintenance and test protocols.
