Abstract

Medication errors are a universal problem, but the causes and solutions are uncertain. This commentary contextualizes an important paper describing the medication error problem in one hospital in Iran. Medication errors may be an important link between poor employment conditions for nurses and less favourable patient outcomes. This paper, taken with other observational work, suggests that intervention studies to test strategies to reduce medication errors may be key to improving patient outcomes.
