Medication safety is the set of practices and systems that prevent harm from drug errors, covering dosing, interactions, allergies and administration timing across the medication-use process. Clinical decision support systems apply medication-safety rules to flag dangerous interactions or incorrect dosages at the point of prescribing, while supply-chain traceability ensures pharmaceuticals are not counterfeit or expired before reaching patients. It is a primary application area for AI systems operating in regulated healthcare environments.
