Register Now: Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety

Register Now: Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety



The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) invites you to 

join a free Web conference August 26 from 2:30-4 p.m. Eastern Time:  

Using Health IT to Reduce Medication Errors and Improve Patient Safety.  

There are 1.5 continuing education (CE) credits available to participants 

who attend the entire Web conference and complete the online evaluation.

This web conference 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 (LASA) 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.
