A Short Commentary on the Recent Published Paper: A Systematic Review on Medication Errors

Volume 8(2): 006 (2016)-06 In their interesting paper entitled “A systematic Review on Medication Errors”, Karthikeyan et al. performed a systematic literature review about medication errors in prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, administrating and documenting, in order to identify the main contributory factors involved. Given the heterogeneity of the studies they considered, they did not statistically pool the data, but qualitatively analysed according to the type of medication errors, dividing them in Prescribers Errors, Nursing Errors and Pharmacist Errors.
