In the second, expanded edition of the acclaimed Medication Errors (1999), Michael R. Cohen brings together some 30 experts from pharmacy, medicine, nursing, and risk management to provide the best, most current thinking about medication errors. Their contributions make this the most comprehensive, authoritative examination in print of the causes of medication errors and strategies to prevent them. Medication Errors provides the health care community—acute care, long-term care, ambulatory care, the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory affairs, and academia—with practical guidance to make patients who take or receive medications safer.
Key Features:
Numerous insights into the causes of medication errors, including drug names, drug packaging and labeling, and error-prone abbreviations and dose expressions.
In-depth analyses of prescribing errors, dispensing errors, drug administration errors, and errors related to drug-delivery devices, using examples of actual errors for illustration.
Detailed discussions of specialty areas fraught with risk: cancer chemotherapy, pediatric and neonatal patients, and immunologic drugs.
A comprehensive chapter on “high-alert” medications—those drugs most frequently involved in harmful events—with precautions that should be taken to avoid such mishaps.
Dozens of tables and figures throughout, plus a color plate section, capturing key information concisely.
Michael R. Cohen, BPharm, MS, ScD, President, Institute for Safe Medication Practices, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania.
