AHRQ is hosting this free Webinar titled "Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety."
This Webinar 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 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.
