• FAQ: 1) What is the appropriate way to report a
medication error or near miss?
2) Do you really want us to report every time?
3) What happens with the event reports?
4) Will someone get in trouble?
5) Are medication errors a problem at UHS?
6) What else are we doing in the pharmacy to
help reduce errors?
