This tool kit aims to provide nurses, involved in direct patient care, resources to improve patient safety through reducing medication errors.  The sources provided include evidence-based  best practices that help us better understand why medication errors happen, ways in which they can be reduced, how self-reporting can help, and ways in which team collaboration can improve patient care.  Medication errors are the responsibility of all involved in the patient's care, but nurses are often held accountable. This list of resources aims to prevent those medication errors and help every nurse improve in their practice. The four areas of focus are listed below.
