E-DRUG: Re: dispensing in unit dose packages

[Anne Holbrook <holbrook@fhs.csu.mcmaster.ca>]

Canada dispenses the large majority of drugs from bulk. For the most 
part, unit dose dispensing in the hospitals has turned out to be very 
cost-ineffective. It would be hard to imagine that the community could do 
any better....
