Frequently Asked Questions

What Constitutes a Medication Error?

A medication error involves any preventable event that leads to incorrect medication use or harm to a patient. This might include incorrect dosage, prescribing the wrong medication, or overlooking known drug interactions. Such errors often arise from miscommunications, illegible prescriptions, or pharmacy errors.

In the context of Dallas, a city with a high volume of healthcare facilities and pharmacies, such errors can easily occur amid the fast-paced environment and high patient volumes. It's crucial for medical providers to adhere to strict protocols and double-check prescriptions and dosages. When these critical steps are skipped, the consequences can be severe. Our team is well-versed in identifying where breakdowns occur in local healthcare systems, ensuring that responsible parties are held accountable.
