Résumé
Neonatal units have the highest incidence of medication errors (approximately 5%) compared to adult and pediatric wards. Medication errors include prescribing errors, transcription errors, dispensing errors, medication administration errors, and monitoring. Dosing error is the most common prescribing error. Prevention of medication error must be global. The implementation of a computerized physician order entry significantly reduces prescribing errors but other preventive measures remain necessary.
