The MHA Keystone Center Patient Safety Organization (PSO) will host an in-person Safe Table on May 28 at Mackinac Straits Hospital in St. Ignace. The session will focus on strategies to prevent medication errors in rural care settings.
Rural hospitals often face unique challenges, including limited resources and infrequent exposure to high-risk clinical situations. The discussion will examine how reliance on individual vigilance can increase safety risks and highlight system-level strategies to improve medication safety before harm occurs.
The Safe Table will be led by John Wininger, PharmD, BCSCP, director of pharmacy, Mackinac Straits Health System. Attendance is limited to encourage meaningful discussion. Registration is free for MHA Keystone Center PSO members.
Continuing education credits are being pursued for this event. Additional details on available credit types and instructions for claiming credit will be shared once accreditation is confirmed.
The MHA Keystone Center PSO is also seeking speakers for future Safe Table events. Members with innovative approaches, best practices or lessons learned are encouraged to apply. Members seeking more information about participating or serving as a speaker may contact Clarence Rucker IV at the MHA Keystone Center.
