5 Comparing Error Detection Methods Errors detected on 2,557 doses Pharm Tech RN 373 Error = a dose administered differently than ordered on the patient s medical record Chart review 24 1 Incident reports Flynn, Barker, Pepper, Bates, Mikeal, AJHP, 2002.

6 The Six Safe Practices Compares med w/ MAR Med labeled throughout Checks 2 forms of pt ID Explains med to pt Charts med immediately No distractions or interruptions

7 Our Study Methods: Observation & Error Review Naïve observation is a process whereby the observers do not know the actual medication order but observe the entire preparation and administration process. Comparative record review is performed later to determine number, type of errors, and frequency of each type of medication error.
