Medication errors are the most common type of medical errors in healthcare. Adverse drug events (ADEs) account for 30% of all hospital-acquired conditions, most of which are preventable. The U.S Dept. of HHS has set a goal to reduce ADEs by 50% to combat this issue. TJC and CMS take medication management seriously, dedicating resources to improve this area of healthcare through education and regulations.

This program will cover CMS and TJC standards on medication management, including TJC’s chapter on medication management, CoPs on medication, and recent tag changes on medication administration. Our expert will also review The Institute of Medicine’s report on medication errors, list trigger tools used to identify adverse events, and provide 60+ tips hospitals can use to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety.
