New ISMP Educational Opportunities

ISMP wishes to announce two new educational opportunities for MSOS members:

  • Third Free ISMP Video Newsletter
    • ISMP has launched the third in a series of “video newsletters” being produced in partnership with the Temple University School of Pharmacy. The videos feature short interviews with nationally recognized experts on current medication safety issues, and provide a summary of top content from the biweekly ISMP Medication Safety Alert! newsletter. The third video, now available online, focuses on: Safe administration of concentrated insulin products; Errors due to confusing product labeling; Educating patients about safe medication practices.  To view the ISMP video newsletters for free, visit: www.2020visualmedia.com/ismp
  • A new ISMP/OE Medication Safety Focused Just Culture Certification Course.
    • Effective error prevention depends on having a Just Culture. Outcome Engenuity (OE), in partnership with ISMP, will offer a Medication Safety Focused Just Culture Certification Course in 2018 on February 21-22 in Phoenix, AZ. The course will train healthcare providers to lead their organizations through a culture transformation, and also includes a yearlong subscription to the Just Culture Assessment Tool (JCAT). Individuals signing up with an ISMP discount code (ISMP2018) will receive $200 off the registration. For more information or to register, please visit: www.ismp.org/sc?id=3040.
