The routines for ordination and documentation of medication were found to be inadequate in our hospital. A new ordination system was introduced in 1991 based on the following principles: 1) All ordinations/seponations must be signed by a doctor. 2) Each day, all medication must be considered and signed by a doctor. 3) Ordinations by telephone must be signed later by a doctor. 4) The original ordination must be used when drugs are prepared. 5) Nurses must sign for supplied doses. The old and new system was evaluated in a medical and a surgical ward. In the medical ward the change of system had reduced errors of documentation from 20% to 1.8%, and in the surgical ward from 33% to 8%. The new ordination system has resulted in better patient documentation and has improved the hospital's written records.
