Abstract
Medication administration is recognized as a risk-prone activity where errors and near misses have multiple opportunities to occur along the route from manufacturing, through transportation, storage, prescription, dispensing, point-of-care administration, and post-administration documentation. While substantial research, education, and tools have been invested in the detection of medication errors on either side of point-of-care administration, less attention has been placed on this finite phase, leaving a gap in the error detection process. This protocol proposes to undertake a scoping review of the literature related to the detection of medication errors at the point-of-care to understand the potential size, nature, and extent of available literature. The aim is to identify research evidence to guide clinical practice and future research at the medication and patient point-of-care intersection. The search strategy will review literature from PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Collaboration, Embase, Scopus, PsychInfo, Web of Science, TRIP, TROVE, JBI Systematic Reviews, Health Collection (Informit), Health Source Nursing Academic, Prospero, Google Scholar, and graylit.org dated 1 January 2000-31 December 2021. Two independent reviewers will screen the literature for relevancy to the review objective, and critically appraise the citations for quality, validity, and reliability using the Joanna Briggs scoping review methodology and System for Unified Management, Assessment and Review of Information (SUMARI) tool. The data will be systematically synthesized to identify and compare the medication error administration detection method findings. A descriptive narrative discussion will accompany the findings.
