Reading about med errors in main forum got me thinking about this.
Do you report med errors to the patient and/or their family?

At my facility it is policy to let the family members know. We also let the patient know too.

We have to tell the patient and who ever the POA is. If the patient is in charge of their own care still then we only have to tell them. Hope this helps.

Having been the POA for an elderly relative who lived in a nursing home, I will say that it is essential for the facility to communicate such information to the family. Without honest communication, there would be no trust.

We always report med errors if and when they happen to relatives and to GP.
