HealthTrust presents…Virtual HTU: “Unmasking Medication Safety Blind Spots”

*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.

Medication safety practices often prioritize metrics, such as medication reconciliation completion rates or bedside barcode scanning compliance. This metric-driven approach can incentivize data manipulation over true harm reduction, especially with limited FTE resources. The implementation of a multidisciplinary medication safety workgroup fosters a collaborative environment to address practice gaps and at-risk behaviors related to medication use; it is vital for medication safety. Join presenters as they share key strategies which include medication reconciliation, to accurately compare current and previous medication lists; bedside barcode scanning, to verify the ‘right patient, right medication’ at the bedside; and fostering a ‘just’ culture that encourages error reporting, without blame, to improve system safety.

Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Identify medication reconciliation challenges and potential solutions.
2. Recognize the value of bedside barcode scanning and real-time audits.
3. Recall strategies ensure effective implementation of medication safety initiatives and improve reporting culture.
