Named one of the top 250 titles of the year by Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal, this is most comprehensive examination of the causes of and means to prevent medication errors. Written by the leading pharmacist-expert in the United States and two dozen experts from medicine, nursing, risk management and the pharmaceutical industry, this book captures much of what is known about the causes and prevention of medication errors. A tabular format is used to present practical tips to prevent, reduce, minimize, and mitigate medication errors. Illustrations and color plates demonstrate factors that contribute to medication errors (i.e., illegible handwriting on prescriptions, and drug containers and labels/trade names that are confused with other drug products). The book is thoroughly referenced, and includes a detailed index.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Clinical Pharmacist from Boston,
By Peter D. Anderson (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medication Errors (Hardcover)
Medication errors is a virtual encylcopedia on medication errors. This text provides a strong theoretical background and numerous practical tips for reducing medication errors. The book expands the definition of medication errors beyond the well-known "five rights" of medication administration. Medication errors also include a failure to detect drug interactions, too rapid rates of administration, and poor patient adherence to treatment instructions. I highly suggest this book for pharmacists, physicians, nurses, hospital administrators, risk managers, and pharmacy technicians.
