I am the occ. health/education/infection control nurse at a SNF and I am trying to come up with some material to help alleviate medication errors among our nurses. Right now, when an error is found, a form is filled out and the nurse and DON discuss what happened and what steps will be taken to prevent further mistakes. Many, many times, the nurses say, "Will pay closer attention or will take more time during the pass." Our DON is new and would like me to come up with some sort of "homework" for the nurse(s). She did give me a packet to go through this weekend which is about 60 pages of combined reading and essay questions. I have not thoroughly read it (it is the weekend ) but I was wondering if anyone else had any good ideas. I am going to post this in some other areas on the board but thought I would start here as it gets more traffic!!!! Thanks for any input.
