Abstract

The most common medication errors encounted in hospitals are prescription/medication, ordering errors, dispensing, administration and medication recording errors. Contributing factors to these errors have largely not been reported in the hospital environment. In the community, inappropriate drugs, prescribing errors, administration errors and inappropriate dose errors are most common errors.
