How does your agency deal with med errors?

We Self report, and undergo training if needed. Obviously, if you really mess up then thats a different story and will go to peer review and so on.
 
You call the medical director (immediately), he initiates any immediate action necessary (calling the hospital if you didn't notice the error until after the call) and starts the process of investigating the error to determine if there are ways to prevent it happening in the future. There is no penalty for self reporting, and near immediate dismissal if it looks like you lied or were trying to hide something.
