Medication errors are among the most common health threatening mistakes that affect patient care. Such mistakes are considered as a global problem which increases mortality rates, length of hospital stay, and related costs. This study was conducted to evaluate the types and causes of nursing medication errors.Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2009. A total number of 237 nurses were randomly selected from nurses working in Imam Khomeini Hospital (Tehran, Iran). They filled out a questionnaire including 10 items on demographic characteristics and 7 items about medication errors. Data were ana

Tillotson, medication error RN Maine Medical Center, Portland, Maine Abstract This article describes initiatives one institution developed to improve systems for detecting and preventing adverse medication events. Our discussion focuses on issues regarding the frequency and incidence of medication errors, the trials of traditional versus anonymous incident reporting, and the efforts to medication errors in improve systems rather than placing blame and punishment on individuals. Initiatives such as improved documentation of pediatric patient weights and hepatic and renal function, increase of direct physician order entry into our Medical Information System (MIS), elimination of nonemergent verbal orders, and new and improved MIS ordering matrices (incorporating medical protocols and pathways) have led to more rational and efficient practices. Improved error prevention and critical incident review have identified on-going opportunities for improvement. Although the direct impact on patient outcomes is not yet measurable, numerous positive results have allowed for improved clinical decision making, streamlining of processes, increased regulatory compliance, and a positive culture change.

Clinicians have access to an armamentarium of more than 10,000 prescription medications, and nearly one-third of adults in the United States take 5 or more medications. Advances in clinical therapeutics have undoubtedly resulted in major improvements in health for patients with many diseases, but these benefits have also been accompanied by increased risks. An adverse drug event (ADE) is defined as harm experienced by a patient as a result of exposure to a medication, and ADEs account for nearly 700,000 emergency department visits and 100,000 hospitalizations each year. ADEs affect nearly 5% of hospitalized patients, making them one of the most common types of inpatient errors; ambulatory patients may experience ADEs at even higher rates. Transitions in care are also a well-documented source of preventable harm related to medications. As with the more general term adverse event, the occurrence of an ADE does not necessarily indicate an error or poor quality care. A medication error refers to an error (of commission or omission) at any step along the pathway that begins when a clinician prescribes a medication and ends when the patient actually receives the medication. Preventable adverse drug events result from a medication error that reaches the patient and causes any degree of harm. It is generally estimated that about half of ADEs are preventable. Medication errors that do not cause any harm—either because they are intercepted before reaching the patient, or by luck—are often called potential ADEs. An ameliorable ADE is one in which the patient experienced harm from a medication that, while not completely preventable, could have been mitigated. Finally, a certain percentage of patients will experience ADEs even when medications are pre
