This talk examines the prevalence of medication errors in diverse areas of intensive care and the outcomes associated with medication errors occurring in intensive care. Consideration is given to various interventions that have been shown to impact on reducing medication errors. These interventions include interprofessional communication, computerised provider order entry, communication about sound-alike and look-alike medications, smart pumps to titrate doses, tools to titrate and evaluate the effects of medications, patient and family involvement, and direct observation and feedback. The use of diverse approaches helps to address this very complex problem of reducing medication errors.
