The most common errors are involved in prescribing and ordering, so we need new strategies to eliminate the chemotherapy medication error by using a computerized prescribing systems, specialized chemotherapy equipment to protect the personals by using closed system technique in reconstitution of chemotherapy drugs, chemical quality testing and proper assessment are needed for technician, education to be undertaken as often as possible, continue efforts to promote standards, guidelines, technological innovation and a national prescription form for hospitals, to be applied uniformly and used as training tool. So the aim of this study is to reduce the possibility of errors that occurs during chemotherapy preparation, and the importance role of the clinical pharmacist in hematology department in detecting errors in prescription of hazardous drugs.
