Whats the best ways to prevent medical errors

I heard in a news story that a baby received ten times the extra dosage of medicine because of a decimal point issue.
The nurse saw .10 and thought 10 and didn't see the decimal point.
The doctor should have written 0.10 to be clearer.

Another way is to always ask if you have doubt.
