- Preventable deaths
- Avoidable hospitalizations
- Nurse burnout and turnover
- Loss of licensure
- Lawsuits with high settlement payouts
It is one of the highest-risk responsibilities placed on nurses, medication aides, and administrators—and when the system fails, the consequences are measured in human lives.
