Objective: To identify publications on the strategies used to reduce errors in the medication administration stage. Method: Integrative literature review, with a pairwise search and selection process, using the PubMed, LILACS by Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scopus (Elsevier) and Embase (Elsevier) databases. With a time limit of 2017 to April 2023, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: Were identified 2.505 studies, and after implementing the inclusion and exclusion criteria 13 articles were included in the sample. Effective technological, organizational and educational strategies for reducing errors were identified, including the administration of medication with barcodes, the use of smart pumps, dose error reduction software, electronic records, applications for reducing calculation errors, educational programs and the use of the Lean approach. Final considerations: The lack of educational, technological and organizational strategies can trigger successive failures in the medication administration process. In this study, it was possible to identify the main strategies found in the literature, providing support for healthcare professionals and services in order to improve patient safety.
