Why BMV - Resident Safety
BMV decreases errors
- Opportunity for errors
- 588 Residents / 10 meds per day / 5880 med per day
- 2,146,200 Meds per year
- Average Medication Error Rate 6%
- What if we only have 1% = 21,462 errors per year
- 0.1% = 2146 Errors
- Noted through observation - Errors Prevented
- Wrong dose errors prevented
- Wrong medication errors prevented
- Wrong resident errors prevented
