Managing the production of Medication Errors was a complex process, due to its technical content, the many tables and illustrations, and late-stage additions by the authors. The team I assembled to copy edit and design the book did a fantastic job. In Medication Errors, top experts take an in-depth look at factors that contribute to medication errors and recommend steps for preventing them. The book emphasizes that systems are at the heart of prevention: medication errors are not typically made or prevented by one person alone.
