Med Safety Exchange - Webinar Series

The Med Safety Exchange by ISMP Canada and CPSI is part of how Canada is meeting the WHO Medication Safety Challenge, aiming to reduce medication errors by 50% of the next 5 years.

They have completed their first series, delivering 6 monthly webinars, sharing the learnings from actual medication errors, with representatives from the affected organization, hospitals or community practice sites speaking up.

Do you have an incident that your organization or business has learned from? Has your clinic/pharmacy/organization implemented a new process that has improved medication safety?

Tell us! By doing your part in sharing the learnings - you may save a life. And if you are willing, let’s connect you with ISMP Canada, as they are looking for learnings and stories to share on the next Med Safety Exchange Series to start later this year.

Hoping to hear from our members.

The webinar in February really highlighted the medication risks with pediatric patients and provided recommendations for any professional dealing with this population. There was an example that highlighted our passive dependency of technology to perform calculations - but with a clinician using their rational and cognitive skills, was able to prevent an incident in a child.

This webinar also looked at how performing Multi-incident analysis (MIA) using a collection of incidents with narrative documentation is a tremendous learning tool. Did you know that ISMP Canada offers workshops on how to do an MIA? Check out: www.ismp-canada.org/education/MIA.htm

This covers an incident causing death from morphine due to pump programming.
Take some time to listen to ensure your organization can prevent similar incidents from happening.

For those of you who missed October's Medication Safety Exchange here is the recording link.


Two medication incident cases were presented, with the first one illustrating how technology can contribute to medication errors.
The learnings illustrated that establishing policy and communication pathways at the forefront could prevent errors.

It's worth a listen..
