Computer glitch causes drug mix-up
Kaiser Permanente officials have found two people in Northern California who received the wrong medications as a result of a computer glitch last week.
About 4,700 Northern California patients were affected by the prescription mix-up after a power outage at the health care organization's Southern California computer center caused labeling errors. Potential errors included wrong prescription numbers, incorrect instructions for use or people receiving the wrong drugs.[ModBee]
