Clinical Audits to Identify Medication Errors in a Healthcare Facility.

Medication errors have serious effects on patient care and it is important to detect them instantly in order to reduce clinical practice errors and prevent their adverse outcomes. Even though error reporting techniques are less expensive, there may be considerable impediments for a nurse to notify an error due to the obvious possibility of negative repercussions. The present study was undertaken to determine the incidence of medication errors, with identifying their common types, and the effect of clinical audits.
