What Are Medication Errors?

A medication error is a preventable mistake or deviation from the intended medication treatment plan that can occur at any stage of the medication use process, from prescribing and transcribing to dispensing and administration. These errors can lead to serious health consequences for patients. Medication errors are a significant concern in healthcare settings, as they can result in harm, hospitalization, or even death.

Common causes of medication errors include:

  • Communication Issues: Miscommunication between healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, can lead to medication errors. This may involve unclear or illegible handwriting on prescriptions, verbal miscommunication, or incomplete documentation.
  • Similar-Sounding or Look-Alike Medications: Medications with similar names or packaging can easily be confused, leading to errors in prescription or administration. This is known as a "sound-alike, look-alike" error.
  • Incorrect Dosage: Errors in dosage can occur when healthcare providers prescribe or administer too much or too little of a medication. This can result from miscalculations, misinterpretations, or misunderstanding of dosing instructions.
