Description
If we know how to prevent harmful or fatal intravenous medication errors, why do they continue to occur? Can a serious IV medication error happen at your organization? What are the essential practices for preventing harm from intravenous medication errors? Can a diverse group of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, safety experts, industry representatives, and healthcare leaders achieve consensus on the best approach? Most importantly, what actions are needed to make real and sustained improvements in intravenous medication use safety? Find out how standardizing concentrations creates savings and efficiencies.
Schedule
- Develop a strategy for organization-wide improvement of the safety of intravenous medication use.
- Explain how to plan and conduct an organizational assessment for intravenous medication-use safety.
