Dionisi S, Giannetta N, Liquori G, et al. Medication errors in intensive care units: an umbrella review of control measures. Healthcare (Basel). 2022;10(7):1221. doi:10.3390/healthcare10071221.
Medication errors are a global patient safety concern, particularly in high-risk areas like the intensive care unit.

The authors highlight the importance of using multiple strategies when working to improve medication safety in the ICU.
