The MHA is hosting the webinar CMS Medication Administration and Management: IV Medication, Blood Administration and Safe Opioid Use from 10 a.m. to noon ET Aug. 27.
Knowing medication is involved in 80% of treatment plans, hospitals and healthcare organizations are closely monitored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on how they are administered. Healthcare teams looking to assess and strengthen their medication dispensing protocol and ensure CMS compliance are encouraged to attend the webinar, which will cover:
- Updated CMS guidelines on medication administration and safe opioid use.
- Specific time frames that medications must be administered.
- CMS policy and education requirements on medication administration and safe opioid use.
- CMS requirements to ensure staff are competent when performing IV medications or blood transfusions.
MHA members can register for a $195 connection fee. Those interested in attending are encouraged to register by noon Aug. 26. Members with questions should contact Brenda Carr at the MHA.
