The goal of this research was to compare the trend of medication errors caused by high alert medications before and after the implementation of revised high alert medication strategies. Methods: From January to April 2017, data on medication errors was collected, and high alert medicines were found to be the source of medication errors. The rate of high-alert drug errors was analysed and determined. Develop and re-implement techniques in the medication management process. Methods: From January to April 2017, data on medication errors was collected, and medication errors induced by high alert medicines were detected. The rate of high-alert drug errors was studied and determined. Develop and re-implement techniques in the medicine administration procedure. Data on high-alert medication errors was collected from May to August 2017. The incidence and severity of high-alert drug mistakes were calculated. The frequency of high alert medication mistakes was dramatically reduced after developing and implementing a high alert medication mistake avoidance plan. Conclusion: It has been demonstrated that the suggested techniques for preventing high-alert medication errors reduce high-alert medication errors. However, the high prevalence of warning medication errors should be continuously monitored, and solutions should be examined for efficacy on a regular basis.
