Medication Error Prevention
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Duration: 1.00 Origination: Mar 2025 Expiration: Mar 2025
Launch Course

Medication errors and substandard care occur often in today’s complex healthcare organizations. High-reliability organizations remain alert to potential errors and ways in which they can be prevented, regardless of how few adverse events occur. Healthcare organizations with a culture for patient safety focus on identifying the cause of errors and applicable prevention strategies rather than blaming or punishing the people involved in an error. Organizations that focus on patient safety in this manner have higher rates of error reporting and are better positioned to address problems at the systems level.

The goal of this course is to educate healthcare professionals about approaches to prevent medication errors.

Learning Objectives

Discuss how a culture of patient safety influences reporting and resolving errors. 

Define the types of medical errors and their impact on healthcare. 

Explain strategies to reduce medication errors.

Medical Approaches to Identifying and Treating Alcohol Use Disorder
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Duration: 1.25 Origination: Mar 2025 Expiration: Mar 2025
Launch Course

Alcohol use disorder is a primary health condition that interacts with and complicates many other health problems and psychiatric disorders. Unfortunately, only a small number of people with alcohol use disorder receive appropriate treatment for substance use issues. The incorporation of screening for alcohol use disorders in a general medical setting can significantly increase the number of individuals with alcohol use disorders who are identified and treated. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 4 medications to treat alcohol use disorder, making treatment in primary care and other general medical settings a viable alternative to specialty care. This course will give you valuable information about these medications as well as several medications used off-label.

Learning Objectives

Identify strategies you can use to more effectively identify alcohol use disorder in a medical setting.

Recall factors that indicate someone may be a good candidate for medication-assisted treatment of alcohol use disorder as well as factors that suggest this approach is contraindicated.

Discuss the common medications used to treat alcohol use disorder, their benefits, and potential side effects.
