Fort Lauderdale OBGYNs : Prescribing Errors in Medical Practices: 53% Happen at the Rx Stage

#medicalerrors #medicalpractice #prescription

She had diabetes. The new birth control raises blood sugar. Both facts were in the chart and in the literature. Nobody connected them. She spent months experiencing symptoms before researching her own medication and finding the answer herself.

According to the WHO, more than 53 percent of all medication errors occur at the prescribing stage before the patient ever takes the medication. Research shows that patients with chronic conditions face a 2.6 times greater risk of a prescribing error. That is the exact patient profile this review describes. The clinical guidance from the CDC is clear: hormonal contraceptives can raise blood sugar in diabetic patients. The gap was not clinical knowledge. It was the workflow that should have surfaced it.
Virtual Medical Assistants help practices build the pre-visit chronic condition review, the contraindication check, and the post-visit follow-up that close this gap before the patient has to close it herself.
