Abstract Aims: The study aimed to assess the knowledge of staff nurses about medication error, prevention of medication error and its management. Background: Accomplishment of medical order and medication administration are the prominent part of nurse's job. Methods: A descriptive approach was under taken and data was collected in the month of March and April, 2014, from 100 staff nurses of IMS & SUM HOSPITAL. Results: A significant proportion of staff nurses (39%) believed that carefully reading of instruction and labeling of the drug before administrating can prevent medication error followed by heavy workload and high nurse/patient ratio(16%) and insufficient work experience(11%)due to huge turnover were mostly cited by nurses to prevent medication error. Conclusion: Medication administration is the basic function of nurse. So the nurses should be well equipped with skill and knowledge needed for error free medication. Implications for nursing management: Error free medication administration process requires a continuous educational initiative on medication error with regards to prevention of medication error and its reporting and the short-term course on medication error should be added in orientation class by every health care organization.

Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para o cálculo do custo de tecnologias que previnem o erro de medicação em uma instituição hospitalar. Método: Estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, que descreve uma metodologia desenvolvida para o cálculo do custo de tecnologias que previnem o erro de medicação em instituição hospitalar. Resultados: As tecnologias foram classificadas em leve, leve-dura e dura. Para o cálculo do custo, foi aplicado método de custeio direto, utilizando as variáveis de mão de obra e materiais e/ou equipamentos utilizados para o uso dessas tecnologias. Após cálculo de cada variável individualmente, estas foram somadas obtendo-se os custos das tecnologias preventivas. Conclusões: O conhecimento do método de cálculo desse custo proporciona uma visão real do investimento, auxiliando a tomada de decisão do gestor, e incentivo à prevenção do erro de medicação. HOW TO CALCULATE TECHNOLOGY COST TO PREVENT MEDICATION ERROS ABSTRACT Purpose: To report the experience in the development of a methodology in order to calculate the cost of technology that prevents medication error in a hospital institution. Method: Descriptive study, a case report format, describing a methodology developed to calculate the cost of technology in order to prevent medication error in a hospital institution. Results: Technologies were classified as soft, soft-hard and hard. Direct costing method was applied with a view to calculate the cost by using labor variables and/or equipment for the use of those technologies. Thereafter the calculation of each variable, they were summed and it was possible to obtain the cost of preventive technologies. Conclusion: Awareness about calculation method provides a real overview of the investment; it benefits the manager’s decision taking and encourages the medication error prevention.
