The Reasons For Medication Errors
Medication errors can involve incorrect dosage amounts, distribution of incorrect medication, adverse reactions and other concerns. These errors can have a wide variety of different causes, including:
- Distraction
- Workload increases or decreased staffing
- Incorrect information due to misspellings, typos or handwriting inconsistencies
- Improper dosages
- Prescription errors
- Lack of communication between hospital personnel
- Failure to properly assess medical history or any other medication use
