Medication errors are a major concern in hospital pharmacy practice. The prevention of medication errors involves mainly the departments of pharmacy and nursing. Though there are many safeguards used to prevent medication errors, they still occur, posing potential harm to patients. To decrease the chance for medication errors to occur pharmacists must take the responsibility to expand their knowledge and teach others about frequent errors. In an effort to decrease medication errors during 1990 at Fresno Community Hospital and Medical Center, Fresno, California, the pharmacy department evaluated the errors made during the calendar year 1989. This evaluation provided information concerning the most frequently occurring medication errors. This information was used to initiate a drug error awareness program (DEAP).
用药错误是医院药学实践中的一个主要问题。用药错误的预防主要涉及药学和护理部门。尽管有许多用于预防用药错误的保障措施，但错误仍会发生，对患者构成潜在危害。为了减少用药错误发生的几率，药剂师必须承担起责任，扩展自己的知识并向他人传授常见错误。为了在1990年减少加利福尼亚州弗雷斯诺市弗雷斯诺社区医院及医疗中心的用药错误，药学部门对1989年全年发生的错误进行了评估。该评估提供了有关最常发生的用药错误的信息。这些信息被用于启动一个药物错误意识项目（DEAP）。
