Abstract: This qualitative study explores pharmacists' perspectives on medication error reporting systems in hospital settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 pharmacists to investigate their experiences, challenges, and perceptions regarding error reporting processes. Findings reveal several themes, including the importance of reporting systems, barriers to reporting, strategies for improvement, and the impact on patient safety. Pharmacists emphasize the need for user-friendly systems, supportive organizational cultures, and enhanced training to facilitate effective error reporting. The study highlights opportunities for healthcare organizations to strengthen medication safety practices through improved reporting systems and collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals.
