Having an increase in medication errors is evidence that change is needed. Patient safety takes priority in the care of a patient. Safety is part of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. If safety of a patient isn’t met first, the patient can have poor outcomes during their recovery. Patients experiencing adverse reactions from medication errors not only affects their safety, but can become a financial burden on them.
