A Mountain of Mistakes: Moving from Unspoken Tragedy to Effective Collaboration -FL APPROVED-

0798-0000-18-113-H05-P (for Pharmacists); 0798-0000-18-113-H05-T (for Technicians) January (2.0 contact hours)

It is said that success sits atop a mountain of mistakes.  Healthcare teams boast unprecedented resources and tools for reduction in medication error.  Despite staggering technological advances, errors continue.  In fact, new opportunities for error have emerged with some of the very tools intended to eliminate systematic errors.  Using established psychological principles, human engineering factors are examined and extrapolated to the unique challenges of the contemporary pharmacy setting.  Recurring problematic areas in pharmacy practice will be extensively examined within the framework of an effective Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plan and appropriate use of the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) method in identifying, reporting, and evaluating sentinel events.  The vitality of intra- and inter-professional communications is emphasized throughout the didactic structure of this presentation.

This course meets the requirement for the Florida Board of Pharmacy Medication Errors credit for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

“MEDICATION ERRORS PREVENTION: 2018/2019”

0798-0000-18-221-H05-P (for Pharmacists); 0798-0000-18-221-H05-T (for Technicians) April and May (3.0 contact hours)

This is our biannual lesson on ‘Medication Errors.’ Errors cannot be eliminated, but they can be reduced and minimized. The general goal of this lesson is to review the concepts related to medication error reduction. This is a knowledge – based CPE activity. We shall include a situation that resulted in criminal charges and conviction against a pharmacist as a result of an error. Medication error reduction can, hopefully, be achieved with a program of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). We shall discuss this also.
