Medication errors refer to mistakes made during any step of the medication process, including prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring medications. These errors can occur due to various factors such as miscommunication, lack of knowledge, distractions, or system failures. Medication errors can have serious consequences for patients, including adverse effects, drug interactions, and even death. Research in this area aims to identify the root causes of medication errors, develop strategies to prevent them, and improve medication safety in healthcare settings. Studies may investigate the impact of technology, education, communication, and other interventions on reducing medication errors and improving patient outcomes.
