PROGRAM OVERVIEW

High-alert drugs, when used in error, bear a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm. Mistakes may or may not be more common with these drugs, but the consequences of an error are more devastating to patients. Learning the common types of errors with high-alert drugs, and the barriers to optimal therapy and safety are important steps in implementing high-leverage strategies to reduce risk of patient harm and in meeting the expectations of the Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals.

Join us for Part I of ISMP’s High-Alert Medications’ Series, Reducing the Risk of Patient Harm from Opiates on January 21, 2009 and discover what you need to know right now to improve medication safety in your organization! Register for all four programs and receive our special discounted package pricing. Additional programs include:

Part II: Reducing the Risk of Patient Harm from Anticoagulant Therapy (April)
Part III: Reducing the Risk of Patient Harm from Chemotherapeutic Agents (July)
Part IV: Reducing the Risk of Patient Harm from Insulin (October)
