The prevalence and mechanism of medication errors have been well characterized in the literature. However, no prior studies have investigated the frequency and characteristics of errors in the positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy provisioning process when treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Just as medication errors may result in unwanted outcomes, it might be anticipated that errors in providing PAP to patients might lead to suboptimal outcomes. Our study seeks to examine the characteristics and frequency of PAP provisioning errors.
