In the article Geometric Probability Distribution for Modeling of Error Risk During Prescription Dispensing, American Journal of Health-System Pharmacists, Vol. 63, Issue 11, June 1 2006, the authors use the geometric model to analyze how many prescriptions a pharmacist can process until the pharmacist makes the first dispensing error, either in labeling (incorrect information or instructions) or drug content (omissions; incorrect drug, quantity, or strength).
