Consequences Of Medication Errors
process that leads to, or has the potential to lead to, harm to the patient. Medication errors can occur in deciding which medicine and dosage regimen to use (prescribing faults—irrational, inappropriate, and ineffective prescribing, underprescribing, overprescribing); writing the prescription (prescription errors); manufacturing the formulation (wrong strength, contaminants or adulterants, wrong or misleading packaging); dispensing the formulation (wrong drug, wrong formulation, wrong label); administering or types of medication errors ppt taking the medicine (wrong dose, wrong route, wrong frequency, wrong duration); monitoring therapy (failing to alter therapy when required, erroneous alteration). They can be classified, using a psychological classification of errors, as knowledge-, rule-, action- and memory-based errors. Although medication errors can occasionally be serious, they are not commonly so and are often trivial. However, it is important to detect them, since system failures that result in minor errors can later lead to serious errors. Reporting of errors should be encouraged by creating a blame-free, non-punitive environment. Errors in prescribing include irrational, inappropriate, and ineffective prescribing, underprescribing and overprescribing (collectively called prescribing faults) and errors in writing the prescription (including illegibility). Avoiding medication errors is important in balanced prescribing, which is the use of a medicine that is appropriate to the patient's condition and, within the limits created by the uncertainty that attends therapeutic decisions, in a dosage regimen that optimizes the balance of benefit to harm. In balanced prescribing the mechanism of action of the drug should be married to the pathophysiology of the disease. Introduction In 2000, an expert group on learning from adverse events in th

The authors used a novel approach to analyze a dosing error related to computer-based ordering of potassium chloride (KCl). The method included a chronological reconstruction of events and their interdependencies from provider order entry usage logs, semistructured interviews with involved clinicians, and interface usability inspection of the ordering system. Information collected from all sources was compared and evaluated to understand how the error evolved and propagated through the system. In this case, the error was the product of faults in interaction among human and system agents that methods limited in scope to their distinct analytical domains would not identify.

Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are at a high risk of experiencing drug-related problems (DRPs) because they take many medications, have multiple comorbidities, and require frequent medication changes. We evaluated the potential impact of medication reconciliation and optimization in the ambulatory care setting at the time of patient transfer from an in-centre dialysis unit to a satellite dialysis unit.

This article describes the scope of the problem ofinaccuracy of medication lists and reviews innova-tions that improve the transfer of medication infor-mation within the hospital. SEARCH STRATEGIESThere is little written about medication reconciliationin the health care literature and nothing written aboutit in the nursing literature. I reviewed English-lan-guage health care literature dating from 1965 throughMarch 2004. Because the term “medication reconcil-iation” is of recent currency, it’s likely that the specif-ic term was not used in some older literature. In addi-tion, bibliographies and the Web sites of patient safe-ty organizations were searched. Search terms used forthis report include “medication errors,” “medicationreconciliation,” “medication safety,” and “medica-tion systems.” Medication error is the most commontype of error affecting patient safety,1occurring most often at points oftransition in care—on admission to ahospital, at transfer from one depart-ment to another (such as from critical care to gener-al care), and at discharge home or to another facili-ty. The principal cause of medication error at suchtimes is the incorrect
