Medication errors--what is the best way to reduce their impact on patients' health?
The study, first released in 2005, looks at medication errors and how they can be reduced. The authors carried out a prospective hazard and improvement analysis, which involved a review of existing research, analysis of existing evidence by experts and calculation of the benefits and costs of three interventions that might reduce the number of medication incidents.
