TELECONFERENCE
Spotlight on Medication Safety:
Designing Safe Packaging and Labels
A teleconference sponsored by Med-E.R.R.S.
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
1:30 – 3:00 PM Eastern time
|
PROGRAM OVERVIEW Since up to 25% of reported medication errors are related to issues with product packaging and or labels, it is important for pharmaceutical companies to develop them in a safe manner. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and human factors are two methodologies that can be used to help increase the chances of designing a clear, unambiguous, easy-to-understand package or label. Join us as experts in medication safety and human factors engineering discuss how you can improve your product packaging and labels. |
OBJECTIVES
Following completion of this teleconference, participants should be able to:
- Identify and discuss label and packaging issues that lead to medication errors as identified by ISMP
- Describe newly established medical product design initiatives that are under way at the US FDA and within the pharmaceutical industry to help prevent errors
- Understand the role of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in the detection and prevention of package and label-related medication errors
- Recognize that many error-prone drug labels arise from not following human factors engineering guidelines
- Understand the human factors engineering methods that are crucial for detecting issues and enhancing label and packaging design
- Determine that innovative packaging can improve safety and serve a central role in disease management
