Join us June 22nd at 1 PM for our second webinar in the June Quality Forum Double Feature!
Transforming "Med Wreck" into "Med Rec"
Preventing harm from medications, or adverse drug events (ADEs), remains a top patient safety priority not only in hospitals but also across the continuum of care for patients. Many organizations have demonstrated that implementing medication reconciliation at all areas of care delivery is a necessary strategy for preventing ADEs. Medication reconciliation, the process of creating the most accurate list possible of all medications a patient is taking - including drug name, dosage, frequency, and route - and comparing that list with the medications that were actually ordered for the patient is an important step to reach our goal of providing correct medications to the patient at all transition points within all care delivery settings.
Join us on June 22nd at 1 PM (ET), as we learn from two experts on how their organization is trying to crack the medication reconciliation code. Our speakers will provide their insights on how various disciplines in their healthcare team, including pharmacists, work to improve medication reconciliation practices across the care continuum.
