Today's healthcare system is fraught with many problems and the public is keenly aware of them. According to the Institute of Medicine, an astonishing upward count of 98,000 deaths is attributable to preventable medical errors, with medication errors occurring most frequently. Before we can develop interventions aimed at reducing errors or minimizing behaviors that lead to errors, we need to first understand the context in which errors occur. The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes and perspectives of nurses regarding medication errors and their compliance to safety protocols in a large tertiary care teaching hospital.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Today's healthcare system is fraught with many problems and the public is keenly aware of them. According to the Institute of Medicine, an astonishing upward count of 98,000 deaths is attributable to preventable medical errors, with medication errors occurring most frequently. Before we can develop interventions aimed at reducing errors or minimizing behaviors that lead to errors, we need to first understand the context in which errors occur. The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes and perspectives of nurses regarding medication errors and their compliance to safety protocols in a large tertiary care teaching hospital.
520 $a My findings are based upon 262 survey responses with supporting evidence from 42 hours of observations and 9 half-hour interviews with nurses. Seventy-two percent of the nurses felt that not adhering to the established medication administration policy leads to errors. However, systemic factors such as heavy workload, time constraints and multiple distractions were reported by over 82% to be the major contributors to medication errors. Nurses feel overwhelmed with the workload and are constantly interrupted during medication administration, causing them to take shortcuts and fall short of full compliance with the safety protocols in administering medications.
520 $a Nurses also suggested many potential solutions to decrease medication errors, including better coordination and communication among healthcare providers (87% agreed), providing reminders for compliance (84%) and education (83%). Particularly encouraging was the finding that 81% of nurses were amenable to more discussions to talk about and learn from medication errors. While the systemic problems will require further organizational and process analysis for resolution, steps can be taken toward building a culture of safety through educational interventions that aim at increasing communication and compliance to safety protocols.
