This course gives interprofessional (IP) learners opportunity to explore topics related to safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable and patient-centered medication-use systems. Through an interprofessional context, students will explore medication safety issues as they relate to the health care system, evidence-based practice, quality and performance improvement, health information technologies, and, ultimately, health equity. Students will use an interprofessional framework to examine and apply systems thinking, human factors engineering principles, and high reliability principles to medication safety problems. Students will explore experiences of professions (other than their own) involved in the medication-use process to better engage in communication and decision making in the interprofessional environment.
