This two-day virtual workshop is designed with community and specialty pharmacies in mind. ISMP’s Medication Safety Intensive will help you successfully address current medication safety challenges that impact patient care. 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 and vaccine error reporting programs make this a unique experience you will not find anywhere else. You will get hands-on practice in error identification and analysis, learn how to effectively select high-leverage strategies, and use data to help support quality improvement and sustain safety efforts within your organization.
This workshop is for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy liaisons working in community and/or specialty pharmacies at every level — including individuals who are new to medication safety concepts as well as those looking to expand their understanding to support an effective medication safety system.
This workshop is conducted in English.
