ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving patient safety by addressing medication errors in a hospital setting in Nepal. The main goal is to create and implement a system for reporting these errors, which can help reduce mistakes and ultimately protect patients. Researchers want to find out if having clear guidelines for reporting medication errors can lead to fewer problems and safer care for patients.

To participate in the study, patients of all ages who are receiving prescriptions while hospitalized may be eligible. Additionally, healthcare professionals over the age of 18 who work at Dhulikhel Hospital can also take part. Participants can expect to contribute to a significant effort to enhance patient safety by sharing their experiences and insights. It’s important to note that participants whose prescriptions are unclear or incomplete, or those healthcare workers who can’t finish the survey, won’t be included in the results. The trial is still in the planning stage and has not started recruiting participants yet.
