Advancing Safe Medication Practices in Acute Care Conference
This conference will focus on medication safety issues in the acute care environment and will highlight ISMP Canada projects, programs and tools that can be used within your organization to enhance safe medication practices. The conference will feature presentations by ISMP Canada staff and will include speakers from Western Canada.
Join us for an opportunity to network with your colleagues and learn about medication safety initiatives in your region and in other parts of Canada.
Preliminary Acute Care Conference Agenda
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Workshop for Long Term Care
The ISMP Canada FMEA framework is a proactive, systematic, team-based approach that can be used to prevent process failures before they occur. FMEA focuses
on how and when a system or process will fail, not IF it will fail.
The workshop begins with an overview of the systems approach to error
management and the application of human factors engineering principles to healthcare environments. Participants spend most of the day in a facilitated,
interactive simulation exercise. At the end of the day, participants will have developed the expertise to serve on an FMEA team in a healthcare setting.
