Medication Errors

 

Medication errors are frightening reminders about what can go wrong in nursing homes and assisted living facilities when staff does not pay attention.  Staff may not correctly read doctors orders or manufacturer’s instructions to ensure medications are being administered properly.  Sometimes, staff administers the right dose of the wrong medication or the wrong dose of the correct medication.  Medication errors can and should be prevented.
