Abstract :

In order to enhance medication safety in the hospital, assigned nurses in each department closely collaborate with the pharmacist on a regular basis to prevent any errors in drug management. Within a secluded institution located in a rural setting with a frequent turnover of team members, their job is crucial in mitigating the danger of errors caused by the rapid replacement of medical and paramedical professionals. While medication reconciliation alone cannot completely solve the problem of increasing expenditures and injuries caused by pharmaceutical errors in our healthcare system, it is the initial and crucial component of the drug management puzzle.
