Outlandish claim, you better show some evidence. I've reviewed several medical charts too and the error rate is much lower than that - typically everything is dictated and transcribed which are fairly mature and accurate technologies
I was curious so I looked it up. Human doctors medication administration error rate is about 20%, but only about 8% excluding timing errors.
> Medication errors were common (nearly 1 of every 5 doses in the typical hospital and skilled nursing facility). The percentage of errors rated potentially harmful was 7%, or more than 40 per day in a typical 300-patient facility. The problem of defective medication administration systems, although varied, is widespread.

> In all, 91 unique studies were included. The median error rate (interquartile range) was 19.6% (8.6-28.3%) of total opportunities for error including wrong-time errors and 8.0% (5.1-10.9%) without timing errors, when each dose could be considered only correct or incorrect
