Michigan Hospital Medication Mistake Lawyer

Our Michigan hospital medication mistake lawyers represent clients and their families in cases relating to hospital medication errors and mistakes. In many cases, the patient is either prescribed the wrong medication, given the wrong medication, or provided with the wrong dose of the medication. The results are often devastating, causing severe illness and even death.

Medication Errors in Michigan Hospitals

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Science recently reported that 1.5 million Americans are injured or killed by medication errors. Many of these, as many as 400,000, occur in hospitals and as many as 800,000 occur in long-term care settings.
Medication errors include all mistakes involving prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, vitamins, minerals, or herbal supplements. Although hospital medication errors vary widely across facilities, IOM estimates that on average, there is at least one mediation error per hospital patient per day. In addition, the extra medical costs of treating drug-related injuries occurring in hospitals alone predictably amount to $3.5 billion a year.

Preventing Hospital Medication Mistakes

Hospitals are now using the latest technology to avoid these errors, such as electronically written prescriptions, but unfortunately preventing hospital medication errors is not an easy task as many mistakes are due to human error and carelessness.
As a patient, it is always recommended to understand what prescription drugs you are taking and what the symptoms of those medications are. Always know and inform your doctor of what prescription drug(s) you are already taking when being prescribed a new medication and any health problems you may have had in the past or continue to encounter.
