Abstract

Medication use systems in hospitals are complex and prone to error. A redesign of the system using idealized design methodology is a starting point in preventing patient harm from medication errors. An interdisciplinary team identified system properties, proposed and gathered feedback on an ideal design, and established a structure to plan changes in the system and monitor their impact.
