“…A study in an ambulatory oncology setting showed 81% of patients' medication lists included at least one error or omission and that medication reconciliation can significantly improve accuracy of medication lists. 53 Based on updated, accurate knowledge of what medications patients are currently on, physicians can make better decisions, reducing the incidence of adverse events. 54 Studies have found that patients who meet with their pharmacists to manage their medications have less DRPs, better medication understanding and management of health conditions.…”

“…Some studies have shown that at least 75% of charts contain at least one discrepancy in the drug list (5)(6)(7)(8). We wished to power our study to identify a discrepancy proportion of at least 35% or more in the charts we reviewed, with an alpha of 0.05 (two-tailed) and a b of 0.2.…”

“…Schät-zungen -nicht zuletzt auf Basis retrospektiver Analysen -gehen davon aus, dass Medikationsfehler für 30 bis 50% aller mit der Gesundheitsversorgung zusammenhängenden Fehler oder Schä-den verantwortlich sind [16,17]. Durch Maßnahmen wie einem Medikationsabgleich bei der Entlassung aus der Klinik [18] oder während der aktuellen Konsultation ließe sich die Zahl inkorrekter Medikationspläne um 90% [19] beziehungsweise die Zahl an Medikationsfehlern um 40% reduzieren [20].…”

Over the last 10 years, there has been increasing awareness of medical errors and harm to patients in healthcare. There is now widespread acceptance of the problem of medical harm and a determination to tackle major patient safety problems. Safety is defined as freedom from accidental injury. Thus, clinical risk management has been increasingly requested by professionals and their professional organizations to make healthcare safer. Clinical risk management is one of a number of organizational systems or processes aimed to improve the quality of healthcare, but one which is primarily concerned with creating and maintaining safe systems of care. A definition of this form--identifying, analyzing, and controlling risks--fits more comfortably with the culture and mission of healthcare organizations and is more likely to achieve the support and involvement of clinical professionals because it better reflects their purpose and values. Patient safety needs to become embedded in the culture of healthcare, not just in the sense of individual high standards, but a widespread acceptance of understanding of risk and safety and the need of everyone to actively promote patient safety. Measures taken to enhance patient safety encompass a wide range of activities with regard to the errors in the process of medication, to surgical errors and surgical outcome ("safer surgery saves lives"), and to hospitalism and hospital-acquired infections taking into consideration adherence to hand hygiene. An evaluation of the added value to patient safety, when processes are systematically changed and the patients become involved in making healthcare safer, is needed.
