Program Description
Medicine errors account for the largest number of medical errors in health care. They’re also the most-common reason for unnecessary hospital readmissions. For the first time, CMS mentions that nursing needs to be aware of the pharmacy standards. This includes medicine errors, adverse events, drug incompatibilities, self‐administered medicine and required medicine policies. This program reviews the pharmaceutical services condition of participation and other regulatory areas that require pharmacist input and participation such as antibiotic stewardships, medicine administration timing policies, medicine self-administration and standing orders.
