Register Now: Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety

Register Now: Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety



The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) invites you to 
join a free Web conference August 26 from 2:30-4 p.m. Eastern Time:  
Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety.  
There are 1.5 continuing education (CE) credits available to participants 
who attend the entire Web conference and complete the online evaluation.

This web conference 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 (LASA) drug name substitution errors 
in pediatric ambulatory practice to flag potential errors, and (3) 
implementation of a medication reconciliation program that seeks to 
understand how electronic facilitation of medication reconciliation alters 
the incidence of medication errors in ambulatory care.
