DOH: Medication Safety Assessment Webinar

The NYSDOH will be hosting a webinar on Long Term Care: Medication Safety Assessment on September 22, 2022, from 12:00 – 1:00 pm.  If you have staff that are attending the Nurse Leadership Conference, we will have this webinar available for those who wish to view it during the conference.  This webinar will:

1. Provide overview of the IPRO QIN-QIO Medication Safety Assessment results.
2. Review how Medicare beneficiaries experienced a higher rate of adverse drug events due to anticoagulants than for prescribed opioids.
3. Discuss how more antipsychotic drugs were prescribed for nursing home residents, particularly on admission, than prior to the pandemic.
4. Share how to safely manage high-risk medications such as anticoagulants, diabetes medications, antipsychotics, and antibiotics.
5. Provide information on important resources for your facility
