Approaches to this are likely to be different in research and routine care, and the most suitable must be chosen according to the setting.The major methods for detecting medication errors and associated adverse drug-related events are chart review, computerized monitoring, administrative databases, and claims data, using direct observation, incident reporting, and patient monitoring. All of these methods have both advantages and limitations.Reporting discloses medication errors, can trigger warnings, and encourages the diffusion of a culture of safe practice. Combining and comparing data from various and encourages the diffusion of a culture of safe practice sources increases the reliability of the system.Error prevention can be planned by means of retroactive and proactive tools, such as audit and F

This newly released Sentinel Event Alert focuses on pediatric medication errors, in light of recent data demonstrating that such errors are more common than previously thought and may not be prevented by standard medication error preventive measures. The alert highlights the importance of dosing errors (eg, weight-related and calculation-related errors), as well as the fact that technology used to reduce medication errors in adults must be adapted for children. A prior study documented the types of medication errors at an academic children's hospital and explored means of preventing such errors.
