Overview

Narrative review demonstrates that pharmacist integration and digital safety interventions reduce medication errors across clinical settings, highlighting the need for systemic workflow support.

Key Points

To examine contemporary evidence regarding medication error patterns, contributing clinical conditions, preventive strategies, and the contributions of pharmacists.
Narrative review evaluating 28 English-language human studies published between January 1, 2018, and June 21, 2026, identified via PubMed searches.
Synthesized evidence from systematic reviews, interventional studies, observational analyses, qualitative research, reporting datasets, and digital-system evaluations.
Frequent medication errors across clinical settings included dosing inaccuracies, omissions, wrong-drug events, incomplete orders, and transition-of-care discrepancies.
Medication reconciliation, deprescribing, electronic prescribing with decision support, and multidisciplinary communication improved medication processes, though effects on mortality and length of stay varied.
Pharmacists provided the greatest safety benefits when integrated directly into clinical decision-making teams with full access to patient records and authority to resolve therapy issues.
