Register Now: August 26 Webinar on Reducing Medication Errors With Health IT

AHRQ is hosting a free webinar, “Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety,” August 26 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. ET. Speakers will review research to improve medication management strategies to reduce errors and improve outcomes through (1) implementation of the “Medication Metronome” project to support between-visit medication safety monitoring and dose adjustment for patients with chronic conditions, (2) evaluation of the potential severity of specific Look-Alike, Sound-Alike drug name substitution errors in pediatric ambulatory practice to flag potential errors and (3) implementation of a medication reconciliation program that seeks to demonstrate how electronic facilitation of medication reconciliation alters the incidence of medication errors in ambulatory care. Participants who attend the entire webinar and complete the online evaluation will be eligible to receive 1.5 continuing education credits. Registration is open.
