Webinar Overview:
As part of the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, Standard 5 Clinical Care includes outcome 5.3, ‘safe and quality use of medicines’.
What does this new requirement mean for home care providers, and how can it be implemented? To meet this standard, all providers are required to have a robust set of systems and processes in place for the safe management of medication. This includes systems for administration, reviewing, monitoring, mitigating risks and reporting.
During this 1.5-hour webinar you will hear from a panel of industry representatives sharing their knowledge and perspectives. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission will outline new requirements for quality use of medications in home care under Standard 5, and the implications for providers. Joining the panel will be two home care providers with different perspectives: one a small rural provider, and the other a large provider with a wide span of operation. We will also hear about future developments in assistive technologies to improve safe and quality use of medication in the home.
Panelists will take part in a discussion on medication management challenges for home care providers and their clients and provide solutions and strategies to address them.
