Description
"Cohen’s book better describes specific medication errors and how to prevent them. The centerpiece is an excellent chapter on 'high-alert medications,' which Cohen defines as drugs with a high risk of causing patient injury or death if they are misused; the chapter includes a comprehensive table of safety measures for various drug classes."
—New England Journal of
Medicine

"This book is unique in the field. It should be a mandatory read for all
pharmacy students and is certainly a valuable addition to any academic,
industrial, or personal library."
—Thomas Jacobsen,
PharmD
