Medication Safety Series
Can our profession be made mistake proof? Learn how human factors engineering helps ensure medication safety and how you can apply “mistake proofing” in your organization. In other sessions focused on medication safety, discover how you can apply the TeamSTEPPS™ model to improve communication and optimize patient outcomes; use tracer rounds to reveal weaknesses in your organization’s medication-use process; sharpen your standardization skills in pediatrics; validate sterile compounding of IV robotic technology; set up strategies for promoting safety in anesthesia/OR; and win C-suite support for elevating the role of the medication safety officer to the corporate level.
Informatics Series
How much of your time is spent performing point-of-care clinical roles? It can and will be more...depending on your mastery of informatics. In these six programs, you’ll learn how you can leverage technology to achieve the future pharmacy practice model, optimize automation, align meaningful use regulations with EHRs and the content of your CPOE order sets, establish credentialing for pharmacy informaticians, and use mobile devices to enhance your personal/professional life.

Navigating the turbulence of today’s healthcare environment is as challenging – and exciting – as white water rafting.

Coping with daily patient demands, new hires, IT implementation, and workforce issues doesn’t mean precepting and preceptor development must fall to the wayside.

Additionally, two workshops, How to Start a Residency Program and the Residency Learning System (RLS) Workshop will prepare you to become the kind of preceptor our profession so urgently needs.
