Abstract
Advancements in human healthcare are on an all time high. The treatment system is becoming hi-tech and sophisticated and vulnerable to errors at the same time. Various disasters have occurred due to medication errors at different levels of healthcare delivery. Ongoing quality improvement programs for monitoring medication errors are needed. Medication errors should be identified and documented and their causes studied in order to develop systems that minimize recurrence. Patient education and participation in their own healthcare decisions should be encouraged. Thus, it is the need of the hour to give a wake-up call and all those concerned should join hands to solve this gigantic problem. However, if a little bit of extra caution is observed by the various stakeholders these can be prevented largely.
Keywords: Medication Errors; Healthcare Delivery; Malpractice Litigation; Word Error; Failure in Communication.
