  • Title: Joint nursing-pharmacy program helps reduce medication errors.
    Author: Walters S, Barker D, Wilkens C.
    Journal: Hospitals; 1979 Mar 16; 53(6):141, 143-4. PubMed ID: 761866.
    Abstract:
    A hospital's nursing and pharmacy staffs have substantially reduced errors in medication administration, especially errors of omission. They have achieved the reductions partly through primary nursing, which demands greater accountability for total patient care, including medication, from each nurse. Other methods and aids include corrective action, special reports and audits, "remainder" cards, and a computer system.
