This research investigates the impact of implementing the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle as a quality improvement strategy in mitigating medication errors within the emergency departments. Data were gathered through a comprehensive analysis of medication error cases for 6 months, involving 15 emergency department nurses, collaborative meetings with healthcare stakeholders, and root cause analysis using tools like the Ishikawa (fishbone) model. The PDCA cycle was systematically applied to address identified issues in medication administration. The study reveals a significant reduction goal of 47% in medication errors within the emergency department over the next 6 months. The PDCA methodology demonstrates a positive impact on minimizing medication errors, enhancing patient safety, and fostering a more robust medication management system.

This research investigates the impact of implementing the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle as a quality improvement strategy in mitigating medication errors within the emergency departments. Data were gathered through a comprehensive analysis of medication error cases for 6 months, involving 15 emergency department nurses, collaborative meetings with healthcare stakeholders, and root cause analysis using tools like the Ishikawa (fishbone) model. The PDCA cycle was systematically applied to address identified issues in medication administration. The study reveals a significant reduction goal of 47% in medication errors within the emergency department over the next 6 months. The PDCA methodology demonstrates a positive impact on minimizing medication errors, enhancing patient safety, and fostering a more robust medication management system.
