Forums: 

Recently ASHRM has posted a Medication Safety Tip Sheet that provides a succinct overview on Medication Errors and Recommendations.
https://www.ashrm.org/system/files/media/file/2025/02/Medication-Safety-...

I would be interested in others thoughts on their definition for Adverse Drug Reactions as "side effects experienced by patients even when there is no error (PSNet 2019, NCCMERP 2015)."

Improve ADR documentation

We are planning to improve ADR documentation on the patient electronic medical record.

Currently on our practice ADR is being documented under the Allergy section. (we are using Cerner)

I want to know how do you document ADR on your practice?
Is there a specific section for it? (Other than the allergy)
And Who’s responsible to document ADR?

I’ll appreciate if you can share a screenshot of your ( ADR Alert) window.

Thanks

Individual Event Report Summary Points

Wondering if anyone has a template or outline that your facility or system uses to present individual event summaries to committees? We've asked that our facilities share significant events at our system Med Safety Committee, but we would like to provide some structure around it. Maybe not a form per se, but potentially a list of recommended speaking points that can be shared during the brief presentation.

Thanks!
