- Poor communication: Communication breakdowns between doctors, nurses and pharmacists can increase risk.
- Systemic failures: Overworked staff, outdated equipment, or faulty protocols can create a system ripe for errors.
While some medication errors do not have a significant impact, many mistakes can have a lasting impact on your loved one and their prognosis.

- Wrong medication: Administering the incorrect medication to a patient.
