*Note: Members who attended the live HTU event and applied for CE credit are not eligible to receive credit for the same program in a virtual format. In addition, CE credit is not available when accessing the program on demand.

A multi-disciplinary team collaboration is essential to standardize supplies and medications on all crash carts across a multi-facility hospital system. This involves planning and processing to ensure uniformity in inventory, with trackable systems for expiration dates and locations. Presenters will reveal key steps to a successful initiative—conducting audits, defining standard operating procedures and implementing regular checks. Learn how effective communication between pharmacy, nursing and logistics is crucial to maintain consistency, ensure compliance and optimize patient safety during emergencies. Join this session and explore strategies for standardizing and tracking crash carts to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of expired or missing items across your organization.

1. Recognize the benefits of standardizing crash cart supplies and medications across a multi-facility hospital system to enhance patient safety and operational efficiency.
