What is the most common medication error?
There are 6 rights to medication delivery. The right patient, right medication, right dosage, right time, right route (where the medication goes), and the right documentation.

Nurses in most institutions have a one hour window, 1/2 hour before and 1/2 after the prescribed time to give the medication and it is missed sometimes. Documentation errors cover a large percentage of medication errors as well. A 2006 study showed that 1.5 million people each year suffered a medication error and 7000 people died as a result of medication errors. Over half of all medication errors occur in nursing homes.

How do you calculate medication errors per 1000 bed days?
To calculate medication errors per 1,000 bed days, first determine the total number of medication errors that occurred during a specific period. Next, calculate the total bed days by multiplying the number of occupied beds by the number of days they were occupied during that same period. Finally, divide the total number of medication errors by the total bed days and then multiply by 1,000 to get the rate per 1,000 bed days. The formula is: (Total Medication Errors / Total Bed Days) × 1,000.
