Medication Safety Intensive Workshop

This two-day virtual workshop is designed to help you successfully address current medication safety challenges that impact patient safety. Program faculty will provide you with the specific tools and resources needed to establish and sustain an aggressive, yet focused medication safety program.

Decades of data and learning from ISMP's Medication Error Reporting Programs make this a unique experience you will not find anywhere else. You will participate in hands-on practice in error analysis, evaluate root causes related to errors, learn how to effectively select high-leverage strategies, and use data to help sustain safety efforts within your organization.

This workshop is for practitioners at every level — including individuals who are new to medication safety roles and those looking to expand their understanding to support an effective medication safety system. 

This workshop is conducted in English.

Program Topics Include:

• Key Elements of the Medication Use System
• System Design and Risk-Reduction Strategies
• Risk Identification and Data Collection Methods
• Just Culture Concepts
• Measuring Medication Safety
• Roles and Responsibilities of the Medication Safety Officer

The speakers' perspectives were founded in decades of practical experience but retained a forward-thinking mindset for innovation. This was a valuable and inspirational workshop."
