The MEDERRORS Library contains a unique collection of article summaries on all subjects related to medication errors, including the incidence and cost of medication errors, error reporting and prevention programs, and the application of industrial quality assurance techniques to the health care industry. Collectively, the articles review and summarize decades of research published in leading medical journals and newspapers, including JAMA, The New England Journal of Medicine, the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, and The New York Times.

The article summaries reflect the views of the MEDERRORS.com editor. We encourage you to read the original article and form your own opinions. At the end of each summary you'll find information suggesting where you might find the full text article.
