简要总结
The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCCMERP) has defined medication errors (ME) as, “Any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm, while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer.†American Society of Hospital Pharmacists guidelines for ME stated that incidence of ME is not exactly known because of variations in different definitions of ME, different methods, or subject populations. In India, studies done in Uttarakhand and Karnataka have documented ME rate to be as high as 25.7% and 15.34%, respectively, in hospitalized patients. Unfortunately, most of the ME remain undetected, if clinical significance or outcome does not adversely affect the patient. While some of the ME also result into serious morbidity or mortality and have a significant economic impact on the patient and health care system.
OBJECTIVES:
- To study the incidence, severity, outcomes, and various factors influencing the medication errors in ICU settings.
2)Development of strategies to overcome the medication errors through qualitative interview of various stake holders.
3)Implementation and evaluation of strategies in ICU settings through pre and post interventional assessment.

Also to plan a suitable strategy which can be implemented throughout the hospital effectively to reduce all the medication errors including administration errors, transcription errors and prescription errors. The outcomes measured in terms of percentage of types of medication errors, adverse events, length of hospital stay.
