Abstract
This mini-review explores the implementation of Unit-Dose Dispensing Systems (UDDS) in a large teaching hospital, highlighting its impact on medication management and nursing workload. The primary focus is on the efficiency and acceptance of UDDS among nursing staff, the reduction of medication stock levels, and time savings in medication-related processes. This review also examines the relevance of UDDS in the context of Germany’s Krankenhauszukunftsgesetz (hospital future act, KHZG), as well as emphasizing its potential as a nursing relief measure to secure refinancing and as a means to achieve the Closed Loop Medication Management System (CLMM) required by the legislator. The discussion includes recent advancements and ongoing challenges in the widespread adoption of UDDS within the healthcare system, emphasizing the need for further economic analysis and technological integration to enhance patient safety and nursing efficiency..
