Reducing medication errors continues to be a priority area in patient safety. Based on five years of data from one large hospital in Australia, the authors estimate that 1.05 per 100 admitted patients experienced a medication error. Errors involving medication prescribing or administration were most common; errors frequently involved antimicrobials, narcotics, and anticoagulants.
