Medication errors are preventable events that contribute significantly to patient harm, adverse outcomes, and even death. The cost of medication errors is over $40 billion annually; these errors contribute not only to increased overall healthcare costs but also to decreased patient trust in the healthcare system. In this presentation, various causes of medication errors will be examined, including errors of commission, omission, decision, and excision. High-alert and high-risk drugs will be described, and dangerous drug combinations will be investigated. Further, strategies to reduce errors and mitigate adverse outcomes will be explored.

  6. Please note that there is information covered in the video lectures that will not be on the handouts, so you must watch the video in its entirety. It is very important to spend time studying all PowerPoint handouts and to watch all course lecture(s) before attempting to take the required quiz.

  8. After successful completion of the quiz, participants must complete a Course Evaluation.
  9. Upon submission of the Course Evaluation, your Continuing Education Certificate will appear for you to print and/or save in PDF format. We strongly recommend that you print or save the certificate immediately, as your certificate will not be stored in your account indefinitely.
