ORDERING
Some IT hospitals use Computerised Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
In Putrajaya Hospital, CPOE shown reduction in prescription errors but not dosage regimes (Malaysian Journal of Public Health Medicine, Vol 11 2011)

CYTOTOXIC DRUG RECONSTITUTION
APOPC Jakarta 2012
Cleanrooms available in some hospitals BSCs/Isolators are used Mainly isolators are used if no cleanrooms are
