Objective:This study was conducted to explore and to describe the causes of medication errors in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) from the perspective of physicians, nurses, and clinical pharmacists.Methods:The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method in 2016. We included 16 ICUs of seven educational hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Participants included 19 members of the healthcare team (physician, nurse, and clinical pharmacist) with at least 1 year of work experience in the ICUs. Participants were selected using purposeful sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews and were used for qualitative content analysis.Findings:The four main categories and ten subcategories were extracted from interviews. The four categories were as follows: “low attention of healthcare professionals to medication safety,” “lack of professional communication and collaboration,” “environmental determinants,” and “management determinants.”Conclusion:Incorrect prescribing of physicians, unsafe drug administration of nurses, the lack of pharmaceutical knowledge of the healthcare team, and the weak professional collaboration lead to medication errors. To improve patient safety in the ICUs, healthcare center managers need to promote interprofessional collaboration and participation of clinical pharmacists in the ICUs. Furthermore, interprofessional programs to prevent and reduce medication errors should be developed and implemented.

“…Medications are essential to health care and have been used directly in the handling of patients. However, the pharmaceutical's inadequate management can cause significant adverse reactions, or simply be innocuous for the treatment, resulting in different conditions from those foreseen in the medical treatment prescript (Rabelo Néri et al, 2011). Medication errors in health care have been constantly discussed in the context of hospital care, reported negative consequences of short-term impact and result in high human damage which is very difficult to quantify, both for the patient and for the professionals and Research, Society and Development, v. 12, n. 3, e6312340425, 2023 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v12i3.40425 3 institutions involved (Dalmolin, 2012;Henry, 2014;Lichtner et al, 2018;Vilela et al, 2017).…”

Objective: The high potential of digital technologies to reduce medication errors in patients hospitalized or under hospital care was explored in this investigation. The study identifies common types of medication errors and their probable causes. Furthermore, examines the technological innovation solutions available that have not yet been applied in this context, specifically the Internet of Things usage to reduce medication errors through a practical example. Methods: A rapid review was applied, exploring the papers from two databases. The analysis was limited to the period from 2017 to 2021, resulting in 147 articles from the VHL Regional Portal – Virtual Health Library and 257 articles from the PubMed database. Results: There were analyzed 40 studies. An error mapping related to the theme was made. Also, the technology application and their effectiveness were identified in the studies. According to the research, inattention or distraction due to the excessive journey of work was pointed out as the main reason that leads to medication errors with the systems employed. Conclusion: There are several opportunities to improve hospital procedures with new technological approaches. By implementing innovative technologies, hospital medication errors can be managed more efficiently and reduce costs and waste with errors medication.
