Prescribing faults and prescription errors are major problems among medication errors. They occur both in general practice and in hospital, and although they are rarely fatal they can affect patients' safety and quality of healthcare. A definition states that a ‘clinically meaningful prescribing error occurs when … there is an unintentional significant reduction in the probability of treatment being timely and effective or increase in the risk of harm when compared with generally accepted practice. This definition is clearly oriented to the outcome of the error. However, it does not take into account failures that can occur during the whole process of prescribing, independently of any potential or actual harm. Prescription errors encompass those related to the act of writing a prescription, whereas prescribing faults encompass irrational prescribing, inappropriate prescribing, underprescribing, overprescribing, and ineffective prescribing, arising from erroneous medical judgement or decisions concerning treatment or treatment monitoring]. Appropriate prescribing results when errors are minimized and when the prescriber actively endeavours to achieve better prescribing: both actions are required.
