SUMMARY:Medication safety webinar: Medication safety for look-alike\
	, sound-alike medicines

DESCRIPTION:\n	Medication errors are a leading cause of patient harm glo
	bally. Look-alike\, sound-alike (LASA) medicines are a well-recognised cau
	se of medication errors that are due to orthographic (look-alike) and phon
	etic (sound-alike) similarities between medicines\, which can be confusing
	.\n\n\n\n	Look-alike medicines appear visually the same with respect to pa
	ckaging\, shape\, colour and/or size\, while sound-alike medicines are sim
	ilar in the phonetics of their names\, doses and/or strengths. Confusions 
	can occur between brand-brand\, brand-generic or generic-generic names.\n\
	n\n\n	Organisations need to prospectively design and implement strategies 
	to identify LASA medication errors and build a robust system that intercep
	ts them before they result in patient harm.\n\n\n\n	At this webinar\, WHO 
	will launch their publication “Medication Safety for Look-alike\, Sound-
	alike Medicines”\, as part of the WHO technical series on “Medication 
	Safety Solutions”. Preventive strategies that can be implemented by heal
	thcare professionals and organizations will be discussed on how to prevent
	 LASA errors to reduce the risk of medication-related harm.\n\n\n\n	Regist
