Area of Science:

  • Oncology Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Medication Error Prevention

Background:

  • Medication errors in chemotherapy administration are not well-documented.
  • Prescribing errors are a significant factor in chemotherapy administration mistakes.
  • A verification nurse (VN) role can mitigate these errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the role and process of a verification nurse (VN) in chemotherapy order review.
  • To highlight the impact of VN on patient safety in outpatient infusion settings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review and analysis of chemotherapy near-miss events from 2009-2014.
  • Utilized the Reporting to Improve Safety and Quality system for data collection.

Main Results:

  • Analyzed 4,282 chemotherapy-related events.
  • Most events were near-misses identified during the prescribing stage.
  • The VN role successfully identified prescribing errors before administration.

Conclusions:

  • The verification nurse (VN) model is effective in identifying and preventing chemotherapy prescribing errors.
  • Implementing a VN role enhances patient safety in outpatient chemotherapy administration.
  • Further research can explore the broader impact of nursing-led verification processes.
