write a book on Medication safety guidelines and tools
The Medication Safety Practices Guide is to be written to serve as a
reference tool, and to encourage health care professionals to take
a proactive approach to ensuring medication safety, rather than
waiting for an error or patient harm to occur. The guidelines and
best practices will be written in this guide book are applicable to all health
care professionals, not limited but especially for doctors,
pharmacists, nurses and patient support staff. The guidelines are
categorized according to stages of the medication use process.
However, it is important to note that no single health care
professional’s role is neatly confined to any one section or stage
as the total medication use process is a continuum; the inputs
and outputs at each stage affect the next.
With the increasing use of information technology and systems,
such as electronic patient records and electronic prescribing,
new issues have resulted. This guide has also dedicated a chapter
on the key features of a well-designed information management
system to reduce the mistakes and lapses in medication order
and use. Even as new technologies and new drugs potentially
provide a more efficient system and effective remedies, systems
and human errors will continue to harm. The key approach is
really to take a proactive step to creating a patient safety mindset,
environment and culture amongst health care providers, by
developing good practices and encouraging right attitudes and
habits in the workplace.
the book will consist of 150 colored pages
