Abstract
Errors with prescribed medications occur when the medications are prescribed, dispensed, and administered to patients. A quality improvement project focusing on patient education during medication administration was initiated, and an evidence-based patient education approach was identified. A visual presentation, and handout, were developed applying the "SAID the MED" approach.
