Investigating the effectiveness of nursing interventions in reducing medication errors. MSC

Abstract:
This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of nursing interventions in reducing medication errors. Medication errors are a significant concern in healthcare settings, leading to adverse patient outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Nurses play a crucial role in medication administration and are well-positioned to implement interventions that can prevent or minimize medication errors. This study will explore various nursing interventions, such as medication reconciliation, barcode scanning, and medication education programs, to determine their impact on reducing medication errors. The findings of this research will contribute to enhancing patient safety and improving the quality of care in healthcare settings.
