Medication errors can be frequent in hospitals; these errors are multidisciplinary and occur at various stages of the drug therapy. The present study evaluated the seriousness, the type and the drugs involved in medication errors reported at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. We analyzed written error reports for 2010-2011. The sample consisted of 165 reports. The errors identified were classified according to seriousness, type and pharmacological class. 114 reports were categorized as actual errors (medication errors) and 51 reports were categorized as potential errors. There were more medication error reports in 2011 compared to 2010, but there was no significant change in the seriousness of the reports. The most common type of error was prescribing error (48.25%). Errors that occurred during the process of drug therapy sometimes generated additional medication errors. In 114 reports of medication errors identified, 122 drugs were cited. The reflection on medication errors, the possibility of harm resulting from these errors, and the methods for error identification and evaluation should include a broad perspective of the aspects involved in the occurrence of errors. Patient safety depends on the process of communication involving errors, on the proper recording of information, and on the monitoring itself.Uniterms: Medication/errors. Drug therapy. Patients/safety. Erros envolvendo medicamentos ocorrem frequentemente em hospitais, possuem natureza multidisciplinar e podem ocorrer nas várias etapas da terapia medicamentosa. O estudo avaliou a seriedade, o tipo e os medicamentos envolvidos nos erros de medicação notificados no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Foram analisadas notificações de erros realizadas por escrito em 2010-2011. A amostra foi composta por 165 notificações. Cento e catorze notificações foram classificadas como erros de fato (erros de medicação) e 51 notificações, como erros potenciais. Apesar de se ter realizado maior número de notificações de erros de medicação em 2011, comparativamente a 2010, não houve alteração significativa no perfil de seriedade destes eventos. O tipo de erro mais frequente foi o de prescrição (48,25%). Os erros ocorridos ao longo do processo geraram, em algumas situações, novos erros de medicação associados. Nas 114 notificações de erros de medicação identificadas citaram-se 122 medicamentos. A reflexão sobre os erros de medicação e a possibilidade de danos decorrentes dos mesmos, assim como dos métodos para a sua identificação e avaliação, deve incluir uma ampla perspectiva dos aspectos envolvidos na sua ocorrência. A segurança dos pacientes depende deste processo de comunicação, do registro adequado das informações e do monitoramento propriamente dito.

The rate of errors is considered one of the best indicators of quality of medication distribution systems and is still used to evaluate the safety of these systems (4,6,9) .

Some studies, published in the United States and England, showed an incidence of dispensing errors of about 10%, even in hospitals with advanced medication distribution systems, such as unit doses (7,11) .

A few studies were carried out in Brazil, specifically on medication dispensing processes, and presented high rates of errors, above 10% (5,8) .

In the pediatric area, especially in Brazil, no study was found on dispensing errors and, to date, their cause and epidemiology are unknown.Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the dispensing process of the pharmacy service at a public pediatric hospital. Important indicators were used to measure the dispensing process and the rate of total dispensing errors was the global indicator of its quality.
