Medication Errors at Minnesota Hospitals Resulted in 4 Deaths Last Year
A new report shows that despite improvements in how medicine is dispensed at Minnesota hospitals, the risk of injury or death from errors still exists.
Hospitals have disclosed four deaths and 10 serious injuries related to medication errors in a 12-month period ending last October. It’s the highest total in the 12 years Minnesota hospitals have been reporting an “adverse event.”
Minnesota is one of five states in the country that disclose hospital errors.
