Current costs of hospital-related incidents are around AU$2 billion per year, and the most common cause of these incidents is ineffective communication. Medication incidents relating to use of high risk medications are particularly critical because of the increased severity of patient outcomes. High risk medications are administered in busy environments, and involve patients who are cared for by many different health professionals in technologically complex settings. These factors increase the likelihood of more medication incidents. The unique knowledge obtained will inform policies and identify strategies for better communication. Health professionals and patients can adopt these strategies to improve medication safety.

与医院相关事件的当前成本约为每年20亿美元，这些事件的最常见原因是无效的沟通。与使用高风险药物有关的药物事件尤其重要，因为患者预后的严重程度增加。高风险药物是在繁忙的环境中服用的，并涉及许多不同卫生专业人员在技术复杂环境中照顾的患者。这些因素增加了更多药物事件的可能性。获得的独特知识将为政策提供信息，并确定策略以进行更好的沟通。卫生专业人员和患者可以采用这些策略来改善药物安全。
