RaDonda Vaught: Exploring the Human Experience of a Medication Error, Insight and Learnings (Part 1)
Thursday, September 19 | 6 pm – 8 pm ET
Presented by Speaker:RaDonda Vaught, BSN, Former Nurse Moderator:Jennifer Flynn, CPHRM, Risk Manager, NSO
OVERVIEW:Nursing & Pharmacy Professionals – from students to leadership – can learn about the human factors that contribute to a medication-related error. Nurses are responsible for providing the correct medication, in the correct dose, to the correct patient, via the correct route and at the correct time – and for remaining vigilant about preventing medication errors. Pharmacists are responsible for dispensing the correct medication, in the correct dose, for the correct patient. Medication administration and dispensing are complex nursing and pharmacy activities, respectively, that demand caution and attentiveness.
Nurses and Pharmacists play important roles in the medication process through detecting and correcting potential prescribing and dispensing errors. Using malpractice data, recommendations, and Mrs. Vaught’s experience, nurses and pharmacists can examine their own current risk control practices to not only reduce the likelihood of a medication-related malpractice lawsuit but also increase patient safety.
OBJECTIVES:
1.List the leading medication administration allegations made against Nurses in malpractice lawsuits 2.List the leading medication dispensing allegations made against Pharmacists in malpractice lawsuits. 3.Discuss the human factors that led to the fatal medication error made by RaDonda Vaught with her patient. 4.Identify key risk management tools Nurses & Pharmacists can incorporate into their practice to reduce medication errors.
