Prescribing errors (PEs) in hospital care lead to patient harm, prolonged stays, readmissions, and mortality. Despite interventions that successfully target 'high risk' populations trials, PE rates remain largely unchanged real-world settings. Existing studies often focus narrowly on specific populations, overlooking the wider complexities of hospital-wide prescribing. This scoping review evaluates for adult inpatients identify knowledge gaps how reduce in-hospital PEs. A systematic search PubMed, EMBASE.com, Cochrane Library (inception 13 December 2024) was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Studies prospectively evaluating reducing PEs were eligible inclusion; those focusing drugs, wards or lacking original data excluded. Fourteen met inclusion criteria. Technological interventions, such as computerized order entry systems, accounted 35.7% studies. Half addressed prescriber-related factors, inadequate drug prescribing skills, while organizational factors underexplored. Current fail address underlying complexities, leaving critical decrease To achieve sustainable reductions improve safety, a multidisciplinary approach, standardized reporting, reform, Safety-II perspective are essential.
