Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
A medication error (ME) is defined as any avoidable event in which the dose of medication received by the patient differs from that prescribed or established by the hospital's policies and procedures. ME are a latent problem and must first be recognized in order to be treated and eradicated since both patient and medical unit are seriously affected. The objective of this work is to review ME and expose the problems that affect the quality of medical care. A systematic review was made in bibliographic databases (PubMed / MEDLINE, Science), and through the internet manually in public journals and information documented by the World Health Organization, Federal Commission for the protection against Health Risks (COFEPRIS), National Pharmacovigilance Center (CNFV) and a systematic review. The EM as acts or intentions, cause negative consequences that affect the quality of health of the patient, so it is necessary to ensure the safety of the use of pharmacological therapies, with the help of medical care protocols, prescription manuals, and the help of teamwork of all members of health as the pharmacist, doctor (MD), nurse and nutriologist.
