Education Announcement: Analyzing Medication Incidents Effectively to Enhance Medication Safety
ISMP Canada, in collaboration with the United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), is pleased to offer a one-day interactive program on September 21, 2009, providing vital information on how to improve safety in our healthcare institutions. The workshop is designed specifically for pharmacy directors, risk managers, patient safety officers, medication safety officers, and other healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their ability to analyze medication incident data and choose effective system improvements.During the session, you will learn the current best practices and most effective strategies for reducing risk, based on proven medication safety principles, rather than human vigilance alone. Structured, logical approaches will assist in meaningful interpretation of medication incident data, which will in turn allow you to prioritize the issues and appropriately direct your medication safety efforts. During the workshop, you will have an opportunity for hands-on practice under the guidance of USP and ISMP Canada experts. You will also receive a variety of take-home materials and tools.
