The activity gives a thorough overview of medication errors, their causes, and possible prevention strategies. The author’s recommends healthcare organizations to focus on creating cultures that encourage errors recognition while devising ways to prevent them rather than victimizing and condemning the culprits, which discourages future reporting. Despite the fact that it is standard policy to hold the person responsible for errors accountable, there are occasions when events are beyond the person's capabilities. It educates nurses on the critical nature of reporting and being accountable for errors with the express objective of saving a person's life, maintaining professionalism, and ensuring errors are remedied before they have major consequences.

Patient safety should be viewed as a collective effort amongst all parties involved. Internal stakeholders include nurses, physicians, and administrators, while external stakeholders include patients, their families, and the government, all of whom have a role in enhancing patient safety. The research looks at how nurses may work with various stakeholders to implement evidence-based error reduction techniques that reduce medication errors while also enhancing patient safety. It educates nurses about the various stakeholders in healthcare and their collaborative roles, as well as how to engage them to improve medication safety.

The rapid change in treatment methods, automation of services, and new medications have all contributed significantly to the transformation in medical practice. Existing policies and guidelines do not cover all of these new approaches, necessitating their revision. The article discusses ways for implementing health information systems that will aid in the prescription and administration of medications. The articles examines the effectiveness of health information systems in diagnosing medication errors, instructional initiatives to improve nurses' knowledge of electronic health record systems, and effective policies that provide recommendations for implementing health information systems effectively. The article includes significant information on policy formulation as well as evidence-based techniques for promoting healthcare safety by incorporating the appropriate standards and policies while also including new emerging methods.
