When doctors prescribe and administer medicine, they are typically required to follow a number of procedures. If they do not follow these procedures, then there is often a greater risk of medication error. 

Medication error occurs when a doctor fails to prescribe the correct medicaction, or when a doctor or nurse fails to properly administer the medicine. These errors can cause the patient to suffer from serious injuries or even death.
