- Root-cause thinking and practical error-prevention strategies
- Building a medication-safety culture
Overview of the webinar
Medication safety depends on reliable processes across the entire medication-use pathway. This webinar examines common medication errors and the system factors that contribute to them in clinical practice. The session covers prescribing errors, wrong drug or dose, wrong frequency or timing, administration errors, transcription and documentation errors, communication failures, and other preventable medication-related problems.
A key focus will be on moving beyond an individual-blame approach toward a systems-based understanding of medication safety. Participants will explore how workload, communication, incomplete information, unclear documentation, look-alike/sound-alike medicines, transitions of care, and process design can contribute to errors. Practical prevention strategies will include medication reconciliation, standardized processes, independent checks, clear documentation, effective communication, staff education, incident and near-miss reporting, and appropriate use of clinical technology.
The webinar will also discuss how organizations can use error reports and safety data to identify recurring risks and prioritize quality-improvement activities. Participants will gain a structured approach to recognizing medication-safety risks, assessing contributing factors, and implementing practical interventions that reduce preventable harm and strengthen safe clinical practice.

Why should you attend?
Medication errors can occur at multiple stages of the medication-use process, including prescribing, transcription, dispensing, administration, monitoring, and documentation. This webinar provides a practical, systems-focused approach to recognizing and preventing medication errors in clinical practice. Participants will learn how to identify common error types, understand contributing factors, strengthen medication-use processes, and apply effective prevention strategies. The session is particularly relevant for pharmacists and healthcare professionals involved in medication review, clinical documentation, patient safety, and quality improvement. It will also emphasize the importance of reporting, learning from near misses, clear communication, standardized processes, and appropriate use of technology. By attending, participants will gain practical tools for identifying vulnerabilities in medication systems and supporting a culture in which errors and near misses are treated as opportunities for improvement rather than simply individual failures.
