How Do Improper Medication Mistakes Happen?

According to a study regarding medication dispensing errors and prevention, medication errors are “the most frequent and avoidable source of patient harm.” In the study, researchers noted that improper medication mistakes typically involve:

• Administering the wrong drug or dose
• Using the wrong route to administer a drug or dose
• Giving medication to the wrong patient

Additionally, system failures, human error, and poor communication during prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, or administering medication can lead to improper medication mistakes.

What Are the Consequences of Medication Errors?

Research suggests that medication errors harm at least 1.5 million people annually. Some researchers have estimated that these errors create at least $3.5 billion in extra medical costs for treating drug-related injuries occurring in hospitals. Other consequences of medication errors include:

• Patient allergic reactions and overdoses that lead to organ damage
• Hospital readmissions after patient discharge
• Loss of trust in healthcare providers for patients who were harmed due to medication errors and their families
• Financial losses if a patient can’t work due to the harm that they suffered as a result of medication errors

Along with these consequences, the parties responsible for medication errors can be held responsible for their negligence. Because of this, these parties may have to cover the losses of patients harmed due to medication errors and their families.
