Medication errors and adverse drug events are a terrifyingly common cause of hospitalization and even death, especially in the elderly. Thankfully some companies are really doing neat things to try and improve the quality of care that elders receive. For example Carekinesis[1], one of my old employers, is effectively engineering solutions to help new-school eldercare paradigms - specifically PACE programs[2] - to decrease adverse drug events to nearly zero. If you haven't heard of PACE as an alternative model for elder care (as opposed to long term care) I highly recommend you learn about it. The statistics on its effectiveness versus LTC are astounding.
