Summary:
This limited time only 6+ hour course is designed to help clinical educators learn how to best identify, design, integrate and assess the use of clinical simulation when training for medication administration. Alarming error statistics and the need for improved medication administration practices are demonstrated, with the knowledge, tools and resources provided to begin addressing those concerns. Additionally, the course includes a breakdown of innovative clinical simulation technologies effective in providing med admin training and 2 simulation scenario templates!
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the current sources and types of medication administration errors, as well as the options for reporting such errors as a means to improving practice.
- Describe how human simulation-based learning can be used to improve patient safety during the medication administration process by training staff and identifying potential system errors.
- Apply evidence-based simulation theory and practice to create scenarios that enhance medication administration safety.
