Medication Errors

Medication errors can come in a variety of forms.

What Can You Do To Prevent Medication Errors?
While medication errors are commonly out of the hands of a patient, there are several steps that can be taken to lay a foundation for minimal error. First and foremost, become a member of your health care team. The greater the patient involvement, the smaller the medical error probability becomes.
Paying close attention to your medication and confirming your prescription dosage is critical. Inform your physician and health care team of any and all current medications, as well as any allergies. As a general rule: the more you know, the better. So, ask questions, share all personal medical information, and be an active member of your health care team.
