Impact of interventions designed to reduce medication administration errors in hospitals: a systematic review.

Keers RN, Williams SD, Cooke J, Walsh T, Ashcroft DM. Drug Saf. 2014;37:317-332.

This systematic review identified several promising approaches for preventing these errors, including barcode medication administration systems and other technological interventions. However, the review also highlights the overall lack of high-quality, theory-driven research in this area.
