Knowledge, attitude and practice on medication error reporting among health practitioners in a tertiary care setting in Saudi Arabia.

Conclusion: Study participants demonstrated a sufficient knowledge base with regard to medication error reporting. Despite sufficient knowledge and favorable attitudes towards medication error reporting, there is still an under-reporting of medication errors when it comes to practice. We recommend the establishment of frequent medication safety courses as a prerequisite for all health care providers. We also advocate the application of error detecting alarms such as digital programs to minimize medication errors. PMID: 30834419 [PubMed - in process]
