Description
With the rapid implementation of medication-use technologies, many organizations strategically plan for the implementation and maintenance phases of these projects. Additional attention is needed to improve new and existing technologies to maximize their patient safety value. This session, a collaboration of the Medication Safety and Informatics Series, offers tangible strategies to optimize safety principles within medication use technology and automation systems.
- Define an approach to prioritizing and balancing optimization of current technology and implementation of new technology.
- Develop a strategy to maximize the safety value of medication use technology after implementation.
- Discuss the current state and considerations for safe design, implementation, and use of medication use technology.
- Identify practical strategies to refine clinical decision support and manage alert fatigue.
