Medication errors cause one death everyday and injure approximately 1.3 million people every year in the United States Prezcobix [package insert]. Janssen Therapeutics. Titusville, NJ; March

9 NEW DRUG ERROR PREVENTION To assist with medication error prevention, the FDA has implemented the following: Drug Name Review Drug Labeling and Packaging Bar Code Label Rule Error Analysis Guidance for Industry Education DRUG INFORMATION RESOURCES New drug availability information can be found in the following resources: FDA website Drugs.com Online Drug Information Websites ( Facts and Comparisons, Lexi-Comp, Medi-span) PHARMACY TECHNICIANS AND NEW DRUG ERROR PREVENTION Pharmacy technicians play an important role in avoiding medication misadventures. Technicians can assist with this added layer of safety through the following key safety checks: Key Safety Checks: Prescription Drop-off Obtaining critical patient information Establishing patient need of medication through patient profile overview Order Entry Knowledge of pharmacy terminology and drug names Knowledge of new drug availability Adherence to standard operating procedures (no workarounds) DRUG INFORMATION RESOURCES Referring to the drug s package insert is an excellent resource to familiarize yourself with the following: Indications of use Dosage and Administration Warnings and Precautions Adverse Reactions Drug Interactions Storage and Preparation PHARMACY TECHNICIANS AND NEW DRUG ERROR PREVENTION Key Safety Checks QUESTIONS? Filling and Dispensing Correctly reading a label Avoid short cuts Separating locations for look-a-like medications or similarly packaged drugs Point of Sale Review Verification of patient demographics 9
