Medication errors result in costly claims for ophthalmologists

Survey of Ophthalmology
D C Brick

Abstract

Medication errors are a frequent cause of medical malpractice claims. Because serious injury often results, medication errors can be costly to defend, indemnify or settle. A review of five closed claims involving glucocorticoids, corticosteroids, antibiotics and silver nitrate offers insight into how ophthalmologists can protect themselves against medication malocurrences.
