As a patient's most tangible source of information about what drug has been prescribed and how that drug is to be taken, the label on a container of prescription medication is a crucial line of defense against such medication safety problems, yet almost half of all patients misunderstand label instructions about how to take their medicines. Standardizing Medication Labels: Confusing Patients Less is the summary of a workshop, held in Washington, D.C. on October 12, 2007, that was organized to examine what is known about how medication container labeling affects patient safety and to discuss approaches to addressing identified problems."--Publisher. 606 $aDrugs$xLabeling$xStandards 615 0$aDrugs$xLabeling$xStandards. 676 $a615.1 701 $aHernandez$b Lyla M$01094183 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954474903321 996 $aStandardizing medication labels$94351708 997 $aUNINA
