Description

Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.We are picking up right where we left off last week to continue the conversation about keeping patients safe from medication errors due to look-alike and sound-alike drugs. Today, we are reviewing strategies to help decrease these medications errors at each step of the medication use process including procuring, prescribing, ordering, verifying, dispensing, administering, and stocking and storing. Spoiler alert: administration is the phase that is most vulnerable to medication errors.Additional sound effects from: Zapsplat.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/157-keeping-patients-safe-from-look-alike-sound-alike-medications/© 2023, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation
