Every single person has an essential role in the movement to achieve zero preventable harm and death in medical care. Globally, there are significant legislative efforts to improve the quality of care.

This webinar by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices in the US is aimed at:
Pharmacists, physicians, nurses Medication safety officers Quality professionals Risk managers Leaders in pharmacy and nursing Pharmacy and anaesthesia technicians Although most medications in healthcare today have a wide margin of safety, there remains some which can cause serious harm or death if they are misused. To reduce the risk of error with these “high-alert” medications, special precautions and high leverage strategies should be implemented to avoid serious patient safety events. Numerous organizations have taken steps to identify these medications, but many are still less than confident that they have taken all the necessary precautions against serious patient harm.
Join the ISMP faculty as we focus particular attention on the potential safe use risks with heparin, concentrated electrolytes, and magnesium using the results from ISMP’s National Medication Safety Self Assessment® for High-Alert Medications. Faculty will review specific safety characteristics of each these important drug classes, describe self-assessment findings related to the use of these medications, and discuss the necessary practice strategies for harm prevention when using these high-alert medications.
