Should a healthcare practitioner be disciplined for being involved in a medication error?

A: While it is true that the healthcare practitioner may be disciplined for his or her involvement in dispensing the wrong medication or incorrectly dispensing a prescribed medication. Medication errors are rarely the result of one person making an error, but instead are the result of a series of system failures that allowed an error to occur. Analysis of medication errors should include looking at the system causes of medication errors to prevent future events and evaluating the behavior of the staff involved in the medication error.
