Medication Error Follow Up

Hello,

am seeking examples of policies or procedures related to follow-up actions for staff involved in a medication error.

While we recognize the importance of maintaining a non-punitive, process-focused approach, I am interested in learning whether others have implemented any structured processes that address individual accountability when appropriate.

Specifically, I am curious about practices such as staff education, use of tracers, or other follow-up mechanisms. Any policies, tools, or experiences you are willing to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Stacy
