Healthcare organizations are challenged with accomplishing numerous patient safety and quality initiatives under each national authority: healthcare reform, meaningful use, the Joint Commission, CMS, FDA, ISMP and others. Limited resources and the lengthy list of projects create the need for standardized processes for managing the competing priorities.

Application of subjective, prioritization criteria offer an improved method to rank importance, resource time, automation requirements, and the development of effective timelines to support efficiency and completion of each initiative.

In this webinar, Marie Link, PharmD:

• Describes national patient safety initiatives and their impact on healthcare organizations
• Proposes practical methods for managing competing priorities with limited resources
• Explains the role and importance of having a medication safety culture
