摘要：

The aims of this study are to determine the incidence of medication errors, characterize the type/severity of errors, and estimate the impact of an educational intervention on medication error processes in a hospice population. Medication errors from 2 hospice organizations were collected and cooled for type of error/outcome severity. The educational intervention included a 2-hour in-service and twice weekly reminders. A Survey to assess participants' change in knowledge and attitudes regarding medication error reporting through the study period and was administered at 3 different time points. Data analysis revealed that medication error reporting increased in one hospice program, that participants' ability to correctly identify medication errors increased (P < .001), and awareness of medication errors in hospice care increased (P < .01) after the intervention.
