Medication Errors
In today's technologically sophisticated world, software and computer programs alert pharmacists and doctors to dangerous drug interactions. Additionally, hospitals have adopted procedures to ensure patients receive the right drug in the correct amount. Given the tools and safeguards in place, health care providers have no excuse when patients are given the wrong drug or the wrong dose.
At the Denver, Colorado, office of Chalat Hatten & Koupal PC, our attorneys investigate prescription errors and ask the hard questions pharmacists and healthcare providers prefer to ignore. We demand to know why procedure wasn't followed, why alerts weren't taken into account, how fill errors occurred and why an improper dose was administered.
