Wisconsin hospital finds creative ways to reduce ADEs; avoids the "quick fix" approach.

Abstract

Small changes can reduce adverse drug events. Hospitals looking for a quick fix to reduce adverse drug events usually find out it's not that easy. But implementing several minor changes can make a difference. That's what Luther/Midelfort in Eau Claire, WI, did when it revamped more than 10 processes over three years, resulting in fewer medication errors.
