Abstract

Preventing medical or medication errors is pivotal in quality patient care and safety. Significantly, error prevention activities are multifactorial. These include, (i) enlisting staff creativity in improving safe practices, (ii) patient education, (iii) provision of information leaflet, (iv) clarity in instructions, (v) application of failure mode and effects analysis, and (vi) care in approving access to medications.
