About
Etienne Cousein is a health services researcher whose work centers on patient safety and medication error reduction in geriatric care. His most influential study, a 2014 before-after observational investigation in a French short-stay geriatric unit, demonstrated that automated drug distribution systems can significantly lower medication error rates. Garnering 82 citations, this work provided crucial evidence for integrating technology into hospital pharmacy workflows to protect vulnerable elderly patients. By meticulously documenting the transition from manual to automated dispensing in a real-world clinical setting, Cousein bridged the gap between health informatics and frontline nursing practice. His research offers actionable insights for hospital administrators and pharmacists seeking to enhance medication safety, particularly in units where polypharmacy and cognitive decline heighten risk. Through rigorous methodology and a clear focus on measurable outcomes, Cousein has established himself as a key voice in the movement toward safer, technology-enabled medication management in geriatric wards.
