With so many moving parts involved in the medication management process, it's no wonder it is among the most error-prone areas of healthcare. By some estimates, medication-related errors occur in one of every five doses administered, at a cost of more than $3 billion annually. The Obama Administration expects that the widespread implementation and adoption of electronic medical records will bring dramatic reductions in medical errors and improvements in patient outcomes, particularly as more organizations rely on CPOE and clinical decision support tools to enhance care and improve outcomes. This webinar will examine how these tools already are enabling hospitals and healthcare systems to improve care, manage chronic diseases and prevent medication errors at all points of the medication management cycle.
