A method for decreasing patients' medication errors.

P Ley, V K Jain, C E Skilbeck.   

Abstract

Eighty anxious and eighty depressed patients were assigned randomly to receiving one of three versions of an information leaflet about their medication, or to receiving no leaflet at all. Mean medication errors were reduced from 15 to 4% by provision of suitably constructed leaflets. The results show the practical importance of informing patients about their medication and of paying attention to the difficulty level of any leaflets issued.
