A CD of 50 Tips to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety Audio Conference held Thursday, June 26, 2008

A 90-minute interactive audio conference presentation from the publisher of Healthcare Risk Management, Hospital Peer Review and Healthcare Benchmarks and Quality Improvement

On April 11, 2008, The Joint Commission (TJC) released a Sentinel Event Alert on preventing pediatric medication errors. According to the alert, the potential for adverse drug events is about three times higher in pediatric populations than adult inpatient populations. With medication errors being the most common type of medical error and also highly preventable, facilities need to have practical tips and strategies to address avoiding day to day medication errors, especially in the highly susceptible pediatric population.
