Translated title of the contribution: Safe medication administration in hospitals

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

- Every day medication is administered to thousands of hospital inpatients, and medication administration errors can occur.- Interventions to reduce medication administration errors have been developed and tested; these include training, double-checking procedures, and technological solutions (such as smart infusion pumps and barcode-controlled drug administration).- Most of the studies that investigated these interventions were small, meaning it is unclear which intervention is the most effective. More research is needed to identify the best solutions.
