Taking Medication Error Reduction Strategies in the Hospital to the Next Level: The Case for Implementation Science
Implementation science aims to discover and apply strategies that accelerate successful integration of interventions into routine practice. This initiative will provide background information on the importance of standardization in medication error reduction efforts and suggest strategies to incorporate principles of implementation science to improve uptake of standardized guidelines in clinical practice.
This course consists of six activities and provides up to 3 hours of continuing pharmacy education credit. The review course includes instructional home-study modules with exam-style practice questions.
