Medication timing errors can lead to too-frequent or missed doses of medications and cause patient harm. This systematic review including 23 articles found that medication administration timing errors (defined in the majority of studies as administration greater than 60 minutes before or after the scheduled time) occur in up to 72.6% of medication administration errors.
