D.Motivate the adoption of practices that can reduce medication errors and ensure providers have needed competencies.

Explanation / Answer

Adverse drug events - it is caused by unappropriate use of medication which causes serious health effects and may be fatal at times. hence it is important for the healthy care industry to provide appropriate indication about the medication. It is true that IOM establishes standards for developing drug-related healthcare information technology inorder to prevent medication errors. It also funds to develop protocols for safe and sophisticated delivery of drugs. It also motivates agencies thereby providers get more competents and thereby it ensures good quality of drugs are delivered. But it doesnot fund the industtry to develop safe drugs. Hence option B is false. So the answer is Help industry with large research funds for drug development of safe drugs.
