About

Delphine Dambre is a leading researcher in geriatric pharmacovigilance and healthcare safety, with a primary focus on reducing medication errors in elderly care settings. Her most influential work, a 2014 study published in the *Journal of Clinical Nursing*, examined the impact of automated drug distribution systems on medication error rates in a short-stay geriatric unit. Garnering 82 citations, this landmark before-after observational study demonstrated how technology-driven interventions can significantly enhance patient safety in vulnerable populations. Dambre’s research bridges clinical pharmacy and nursing practice, offering actionable insights for hospital systems aiming to streamline medication management. Her work is particularly notable for its real-world application in a 1800-bed general hospital, underscoring the scalability of her findings. By quantifying error reduction in a 40-bed unit, she provided a replicable model for geriatric care improvement. Dambre’s contributions have informed policy discussions on medication safety protocols and automated dispensing adoption, making her a key voice in geriatric healthcare innovation. Her research continues to inspire safer, more efficient practices for elderly patients worldwide.
