SAFER Medication Use Program
This state-of-the art program has been developed to educate health care professionals on in-hospital and community-based approaches to reducing adverse drug events among older adults. This program includes a health care professional and a community-based module, two PowerPoint presentations, and four brochures on CD-ROM. The health care professional module focuses on practice, and the community-based module focuses on safe medication use among community-dwelling adults. The goal of the SAFER Medication Use program is to help reduce the incidence of adverse drug events (ADEs) by 1) educating nurses and other health care professionals about the causes and risk factors that contribute to ADEs, specifically among older adults and 2) educating ED patients and community members, especially older adults, on safe medication practices.
