problems with their medication and 1 in 100 hospitalized patients
are harmed due to medication errors during their stay. The
prescribing of medications is the most common health care
intervention and medication safety is relevant to all health care
professionals and patients, in all health care settings. Safety in
Medication Use provides an overview of the theory and practice of
medication safety, summarizing the international literature and
practical suggestions for local practice Each chapter is written by
one or more authors from around the world who were chosen because
of their standing in their field. The book covers three broad
areas: problems in the medication use process, approaches to
understanding and resolving them, and putting solutions into
practice. Topics discussed include: Measuring medication errors

approaches Educational interventions Communication between health
care professionals Interventions for safer work systems Electronic

literature, with the chapters on solutions followed by an "expert
summary" of the implications for practice. This valuable resource

widespread medication errors are, but also discusses interventions
that can reduce such errors to improve patient safety.
