Produktbeschreibung

An estimated 1 in 20 patients are admitted to the hospital due to problems with their medication and 1 in 100 hospitalized patients are harmed due to medication errors during their stay. This book provides an overview of the theory and practice of medication safety, summarizing the international literature and practical suggestions for local practice. The book covers three broad areas: problems in the medication use process, approaches to understanding and resolving them, and putting solutions into practice. This valuable resource describes an international body of work that shows not only how widespread medication errors are, but also discusses interventions that can reduce them to improve patient safety.
