Improve Core Processes for Administering Medications:
Use Pre-Typed Medication Records, Orders, and Flowsheets
Forms that require handwritten information have higher risk of error, due to faulty memory, careless or mistaken transcription from other documents, and misinterpretation of handwriting. To minimize the risk of such errors, use pre-printed forms for common orders, medication flowsheets, and the medication administration record (MAR).
