Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Drug is a key factor in patient safety events [1]. Medication errors (MEs) mean that may occur in the drug application, usually occur in the drug prescription, distribution, packaging, product labeling, dispensing, using and monitoring. Medication errors which are objective existence occur as a result of personal factors and/or system performance deficits [2,3]. The Pharmacy Administration Management Regulations of Medical Institutions (PAMRMI) definition of a medication error in China is as follows: “Any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use occurs in clinical medication.” People usually focus on responsibility or punishment of physicians and pharmacists in the domestic medical related environment [4,5], while they don’t attach great importance to the analysis of medication errors and don’t develop the necessary measures to prevent the medication errors. People are used to hide problems, under report and avoid responsibility, which makes medical safety somehow dangerous. This study focuses on collecting medication errors of one first-class provincial hospital from 2012 to 2013 and analyzing the cause of error in order to make appropriate precautionary measures which could reduce errors and improve rational use of drug and ensure patients administration security. It is important to reduce the occurrence of medical disputes, maintain healthy and harmonious medical order, and improve the level of medical treatment and quality
