1.	Drug Toxicity (Drug Safety) 03/01/2004 - "BACKGROUND: Although pharmacotherapy can be beneficial in the elderly, it can also lead to drug-related problems (DRPs), including untreated indications, drug use without an indication, improper drug selection, subtherapeutic dosage, overdosage, medication error, medication nonadherence, drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, adverse drug withdrawal events, and therapeutic failure. " 01/01/2003 - "Significant reduction of medication errors and adverse drug events requires systemic implementation of information technology, improvements in the reporting of errors, and integration with other systems designed to detect and prevent errors." 11/01/2009 - "OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effect of a Computerized Physician Order Entry system with basic Clinical Decision Support (CPOE/CDSS) on the incidence of medication errors (MEs) and preventable adverse drug events (pADEs). " 11/01/2009 - "The influence that electronic prescribing has on medication errors and preventable adverse drug events: an interrupted time-series study." 06/01/2009 - "Concerning patient safety, much research has been undertaken to study medication-related events, such as adverse drug events or medication errors; however, only little is known about device-related events and patient safety.

2.	Renal Insufficiency 09/15/2007 - "CONCLUSION: Integration of clinical information system technology decreased selected types of medication errors throughout the medication-use process in a health care system and improved therapeutic drug monitoring in patients with renal insufficiency and in patients receiving drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges through the use of CDSS alerts." 05/01/2005 - "Because renal insufficiency is a common source of medication errors, the authors studied a trial of alerts designed to reduce inpatient administration of medications contraindicated due to renal insufficiency. " 01/01/2006 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a CPOE system that displays an initial default dose for gentamycin and tobramycin administration on the frequency of medication errors and potential ADEs in patients with renal insufficiency. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Wound Infection (Wound Infections) 01/01/2004 - "CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that a higher proportion of professional nurses in the staff mix (RNs/RPNs) on medical and surgical units in Ontario teaching hospitals are associated with lower rates of medication errors and wound infections. " 01/01/2004 - "RESULTS: The lower the proportion of professional nursing staff employed on a unit, the higher the number of medication errors and wound infections. " 12/15/2000 - "Improved patient outcomes have been documented, including reduced length of stay, postsurgical wound infection, adverse drug reactions, and medication errors. " 01/01/2004 - "OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different nurse staffing models on costs and the patient outcomes of patient falls, medication errors, wound infections, and urinary tract infections.

4.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 07/01/2003 - "Furthermore, data were collected from identified Medication Error Reports when an agent was prescribed for a patient with a reported allergy to that agent or class. " 05/01/2001 - "RESULTS: During the formal project, teams collected allergy information on more than 20,000 veterans and averted 1,833 medication errors that had the potential to cause adverse events. " 07/01/1999 - "Large differences were seen for all main types of medication errors: dose errors, frequency errors, route errors, substitution errors, and allergies. " 11/01/2001 - "Apart from the fact that the FAMC helped to determine the grade of preventability, FAMC allowed one to demonstrate that allergy and medication errors were the most avoidable adverse drug events. " 07/01/2003 - "OBJECTIVES: To determine the reporting accuracy of true patient-related allergies to drugs in a large teaching institution (908 licensed beds), and to identify factors contributing to medication errors that involved drug allergies. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Pain (Aches) 11/01/2008 - "Results for the most important indicators were as follows: mean follow-up time, 3.1 days (range 1-12 days); effectiveness, 92%; severe pain (>7 on a numerical scale) at rest, 1%; moderate pain (4-6 on the scale) on movement, 31%; accidental catheter removal, 6%; and medication error, 0.4%. " 07/01/2008 - "The law of unintended consequences: when pain management leads to medication errors." 06/01/2006 - "RESULTS: Research priorities were identified as: (1) impact of staff shortages on retention of RNs/RM's (80%); (2) quality of life of chronically ill patients (76%); (3) stress and bullying in the workplace (76%); (4) assessment and management of pain (75%); (5) skill mix and staff burnout (73%); (6) cardio-pulmonary resuscitation decision making (72%); (7) coordination of care between hospital and primary care settings (69%); (8) medication errors (67%); and (9) promoting healthy lifestyles (64%). " 06/01/2002 - "Topics have included reducing medication errors during emergency procedures, enhancing palliative care services, minimizing the risk of missed x-ray findings, optimizing anticoagulation management, reducing the risk of vascular catheter-related infection, and improving pain management. " 05/01/2003 - "Other current issues include prevention of major morbidities, preservation of brain function, improved neurodevelopmental outcome of premature babies, use of blood substitutes, optimal nutrition, fetal surgery, evidence-based medicine, better information systems, avoidance of medication errors, adequate sedation and pain relief of the baby, and the use of nitric oxide.
