Abstract
It was reported that between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths occur annually as a consequence of medical errors within American hospitals alone [1] and the US National Association of Boards of Pharmacy reports that as many as 7,000 deaths occur in the US each year because of incorrect prescriptions [2] Therefore, a great desire to improve access to new healthcare methods, and the challenge of delivering healthcare becomes significant nowadays.
