What Is Considered a Medication Error?

A medication error occurs when, because of negligence, a patient is prescribed or given incorrect prescription drugs or dosages. As a result, the individual suffers harm that could have been prevented.

There are countless examples of medication errors, a few of which include:

  • Administering the improper type or dosage of a medication
  • Failing to review or update medical records
  • Mistakenly diagnosing health conditions
  • Misdiagnosing side effects of a particular medication
  • Failing to educate patients on what to do in the event of a medication problem

Common Types of Harm Caused by Medication Errors

A medication error could happen at any time during the medication-use cycle. This includes when the patient is given a prescription from their doctor, when they take the order to a pharmacy to get filled, and when the medication is dispensed to the patient. Although there are various guidelines on how a drug should be packaged and labeled, negligence on the part of medical professionals or pharmacists could result in serious errors that put the patient’s safety at risk. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 100,000+ suspected medication errors are reported annually.

Types of harm patients can suffer because of medication errors include:

  • Death
  • Serious injuries
  • Hospitalization
  • Disabilities
  • Birth defects
