HealthcarePatient Safety Management4HighRegistered Nurse$ implied
A nurse administered a medication based on erroneous notes from another nurse, resulting in a medication error because the medication was not actually charted or ordered.
The medication chart app does not display missed medications, so the nurse had to rely on handwritten notes and verbal handover, which were outdated and incomplete, leading to a medication error.
