Descriptive and retrospective study of medical errors at, San Jose Monterrey Hospital School of medicine and Health science.

Objective:

To describe pharmaceutical interventions in order to keep a low incidence of medical errors.

Material and methods:

Medical error was defined as any unintended error in medication. We present a 12 Month (2017-2018) retrospective study using incident reports.

Results:

We identified 776 medication errors over a total of 6,119 reviewed prescriptions. (2.4%) The most frequent errors in prescription were dosage associated (60.3%). No lethal outcomes were reported. The most common group of medication errors were antibiotics followed by analgesics.

Conclusion:

Involving pharmacists in checking drug prescriptions has been the main factor for detecting and improving pediatric dosages leading to an important improvement in patient safety.
