oncologists have the time and resources to obtain the information and evaluate the evidence. Further, much of the information is generic and does not provide specific direction on how the information can be applied in clinical practice. This manuscript reviews principles of safe chemotherapy administration, identifies key actions to prevent chemotherapy errors, and provides suggestions on how the information can be incorporated into daily practice. Chemotherapy administration Safety Error reporting Previous SectionNext Section Introduction Your morning was unexpectedly busy. Traffic was backed up on the way to the hospital. The emergency consult for anemia has leukemic cells on the peripheral smear. Now you are rushing to the office but first have to take care of Judy Smith. Judy was admitted for treatment of refractory lymphoma and is anxious about receiving her treatment in the hospital. She read hospital errors result in more deaths than a crash of a jumbo jet every day and that 44,000–98,000 patients per year die of medical errors. You tell Judy these studies are nearly 10 years old. You and your staff are smart and care about

This study aimed to assess antineoplastic medication errors in both affected patients and intercepted cases in terms of frequency, severity for patients, and costs. Methods A 1-year prospective study was conducted in order to identify the medication errors that http://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2407-11-478 occurred during chemotherapy treatment of cancer patients at a French university hospital. The severity and potential consequences of intercepted errors were independently assessed by two physicians. A cost analysis was performed using a simulation of potential hospital stays, with estimations based on the costs of diagnosis-related groups. Results Among the 6, 607 antineoplastic prescriptions, 341 (5.2%) contained at least one error, corresponding to a total of 449 medication errors. However, most errors (n = 436) were intercepted before medication was administered to the patients. Prescription errors represented 91% of errors, followed by pharmaceutical (8%) and administration errors (1%). According to an independent estimation, 13.4% of avoided errors would have resulted in temporary injury and 2.6% in permanent damage, while 2.6% would have compromised the vital prognosis of the patient, with four to eight deaths thus being avoided. Overall, 13 medication errors reached the patient without causing damage, although two patients required enhanced monitoring. If the in
