{"product_id":"preventing-medication-errors-book-institute-of-medicine-9780309101479","title":"Preventing Medication Errors","description":"In 1996 the Institute of Medicine launched the Quality Chasm Series, a  series of reports focused on assessing and improving the nation's quality of  health care. Preventing Medication Errors is the newest volume in the series.  Responding to the key messages in earlier volumes of the series—To Err Is  Human (2000), Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), and Patient Safety  (2004)—this book sets forth an agenda for improving the safety of medication  use. It begins by providing an overview of the system for drug development,  regulation, distribution, and use. Preventing Medication Errors also  examines the peer-reviewed literature on the incidence and the cost of  medication errors and the effectiveness of error prevention strategies.  Presenting data that will foster the reduction of medication errors, the book  provides action agendas detailing the measures needed to improve the  safety of medication use in both the short- and long-term. Patients, primary  health care providers, health care organizations, purchasers of group health  care, legislators, and those affiliated with providing medications and medication-  related products and services will benefit from this guide to reducing  medication errors.Table of Contents   Front Matter Summary 1  Introduction  Part I  Understanding the Causes and Costs of  Medication Errors  2  Overview of the Drug   Development, Regulation, Distribution, and Use  System  3  Medication Errors: Incidence and Cost  Part II  Moving Toward a  Patient-Centered, Integrated Medication-Use  System  4  Action Agenda to Support the Consumer-Provider-Partnership  5  Action Agenda for Health Care Organizations  6  Action Agenda for the Pharmaceutical, Medical  Device, and Health Information Technology  Industries  7  Applied Research Agenda for Safe Medication  Use  8  Action Agendas for Oversight, Regulation, and  Payment  Appendix A Biographical Sketches of Committee Members Appendix B  Glossary of Terms and Acronyms  Appendix C  Medication Errors: Incidence Rates  Appendix D  Medication Errors: Prevention Strategies  Index","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51320938758417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51320940200209,"sku":"CIN0309101476G","price":4.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53225153134865,"sku":"CIN0309101476VG","price":4.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0309101476.jpg?v=1768560127","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/preventing-medication-errors-book-institute-of-medicine-9780309101479","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
