Lennes IT, Bohlen N, Park ER, et al. Chemotherapy Errors: A Call for a Standardized Approach to Measurement and Reporting. J Oncol Pract. 2016;12(4):e495-501. doi:10.1200/JOP.2015.008995.
Chemotherapy is a complicated process, and it is vulnerable to error due to factors that can affect the various steps involved. This commentary describes how one multidisciplinary cancer center designed and applied a taxonomy to report and monitor chemotherapy errors. The authors summarize the results of the work and provide suggestions for organizations that seek to develop similar tracking and analysis methods.
