Nearly one-third of adults take five or more different medications.1 Given the volume of medications being taken, medication-related injuries may seem inevitable; however, injuries due to errors medication errors in in medication prescribing, dispensing and administration are preventable.It is difficult to estimate how often preventable adverse drug events occur. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report Preventing Medication Errors estimated that 1.5 million preventable adverse drug events occur each year in the United States.1 Another study estimated that 530,000 preventable adverse drug events occur each year among outpatient Medicare beneficiaries.2 The annual cost of treating preventable adverse drug events in Medicare enrollees aged 65 and older is estimated at $887 million.3Although significant efforts are occurring in physician offices to improve medication safety, we are not where we should be. This article will focus on simple, low-cost strategies for safe medication use that can be incorporated into office-based practice. The recommendations are drawn from research conducted by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP).Patient informationJump to section + Abstract Patient informationDrug informationCommunicationLabeling and storageDrug devicesPatient educationCulture changeConcl

DMEPA uses the National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCCMERP) definition of a medication error. Specifically, a medication error is "any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer. Such events may be related to professional practice, health care products, procedures, and systems, including prescribing; order communication; product labeling, packaging, and nomenclature; compounding; dispensing; distribution; administration; education; monitoring; and use."DMEPA includes a medication error prevention program staffed with healthcare professionals. Among their many duties, program staff review medication error reports sent to MedWatch, evaluate causality, and analyze the data to provide solutions to reduce the risk of medication errors to industry and others at FDA.Additionally, DMEPA prospectively reviews proprietary names, labeling, packaging, and product design prior to drug approval to help prevent medication errors.Although DMEPA encourages manufacturers to perform their due diligence when naming their drug products and we strive to avoid approving confusing proprietary names for drug products, there are cases of adverse events
