“Medical
mistakes kill 98,000 Americans every year."
Medication errors
injure over 1.5 million Americans every year, and at least one quarter
of the errors are preventable. Hospitalized patients experience
at least one medication error per day. A serious drug error
can increase the cost of a hospital stay by an additional $8750.
As a result, medication errors in hospitals cost American Citizens
over $3.5 billion – and that does not include the costs associated
with lost productivity, lost wages, or errors from other sources,
like doctor offices, clinics and pharmacies.
