Medication Errors: Lets Apply Practical Solutions to Identify, Reduce and Prevent

Course overview

Medication safety is a priority in all care settings, yet medication errors in our older adults continue and opportunities to intervene are missed. This course goes beyond the medication safety definitions, statistics and resource listings to give learners a chance to apply strategies. Join your colleagues in identifying error sources and implementing solutions. From the well-known sound-alike drug names to complex interpretation of electronic administration systems, error potentials await our notice. This course was originally presented as a live session at the 2023 ASCP Annual Meeting & Exhibition on October 29, 2023, in Kissimmee, Florida. Attendees who completed and received credits for this course from the live meeting are not qualified to receive credits for this home study version.
