For example, an incident occurred at a university hospital where, following joint surgery, the medication was prescribed in the wrong dosage. Although this incident was not fatal, it did lead to life-threatening complications. But what would have happened if a member of staff had confused two identical-looking vials of colourless liquid, or if the hospital pharmacy had switched to a product from a different manufacturer that produces similar-looking versions of another medicine, but with a completely different composition and therefore a different effect on the patient's body? The number of mix-ups that can occur is enormous; despite the best possible training and experience of nursing staff, they can still happen - after all, according to statistics, one in three in-patient in Austria receives the wrong medication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892935311511,"sku":"9786209940767","price":5314.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209940767.webp?v=1781190167","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/patient-safety-through-technology-assisted-medication-9786209940767","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
