Medication Errors

According to a recent study performed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, medication errors are among the most common types of medical errors, harming at least 1.5 million people in the United States every year.  The extra medical costs of treating drug-related injuries occurring in hospitals alone amounts to approximately $3.5 billion a year, and this estimate does not even take into account expenses stemming from lost wages and additional long-term healthcare costs resulting from the medication error. Medication errors are a huge problem in the medical industry and it is not surprising that so many patents fall victims to this every year in Boulder & Longmont.
