[25% Off] JCI Medication Management and Use Certificate Course Course Coupon

Description

Medications are a critical component of the care provided to patients and are used for diagnostic, symptomatic,

preventive, curative, and palliative treatment and management of diseases and conditions. A medication

system that supports optimal medication management must include processes that support safe and effective

medication use. Safe, effective medication  use involves a multidisciplinary, coordinated effort of health care

practitioners applying the principles of process design, implementation,  and improvement to all aspects of

the medication management process, which includes the selecting, procuring, storing, ordering/prescribing,

transcribing, distributing, preparing, dispensing, administering, documenting, and monitoring of medication

therapies. Although health care practitioners’ roles in medication management vary greatly from one country

to another, sound medication management processes for patient safety are universal, and must be supported

by scientific evidence and guidance for prescribers such as in the development of a program for antibiotic

stewardship and the use of accepted medication practice guidelines.

Note: Medication is defined as any prescription medications; sample medications; herbal remedies; vitamins;

nutraceuticals; over-the-counter drugs; vaccines; diagnostic and contrast agents used on or administered to

persons to diagnose, to treat, or to prevent disease or other abnormal conditions; radioactive medications;

respiratory therapy treatments; parenteral nutrition; blood derivatives; and intravenous solutions (plain, with

electrolytes and/or drugs), as well as solutions administered/used  on the patient by the surgical team during

surgical/invasive procedures.

Note: Some standards require the hospital to have a written policy, procedure, program, or other written document for specific processes. Those standards are indicated by a ? icon after the standard text.
