Oxygen and antibiotic errors were 27.4% and 16.9%, respectively. Errors by physicians and nurses were nearly the same type and rates. Oxygen errors were significantly higher in the General Hospital. The study confirmed that medication processes should be reevaluated to prevent medication errors, and educational programs and protocols should be used. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/3879 | ISSN: | 15505065 | Rights: | © Lippincott Williams & Wilkins | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Cyprus University of Technology |
