High-Alert Medications

High-alert medications are drugs that bear a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when they are used in error. Although mistakes may or may not be more common with these drugs, the consequences of an error are clearly more devastating to patients.

See ISMP Canada’s Canadian High-Alert Medication List for a list of high-alert medications and guidance on how to create and implement a high-alert medication program in your home.

Medication Reconciliation

Medication reconciliation (MedRec) is a component of medication safety that can reduce communication and medication errors that have the potential to cause harm at transitions of care to long-term care.

We have developed tools to support MedRec in long-term care, starting with tools to support a systematic process to obtain and document the best possible medication history (BPMH).

Amélioration de la qualité

Within Long-Term Care homes, Quality Improvement is a journey of residents and families, personal support workers, nurses, physicians, managers, and pharmacists coming together, staying together and working together towards improved outcomes.

During the “Strengthening Medication Safety in Long-Term Care” initiative, ISMP Canada provides support in two areas of Quality Improvement:

  • Education and Training in Quality Improvement Techniques
  • Coaching and Facilitation of Quality Improvement Teams

Engagement des résidents et des familles

Les résidents en soins de longue durée sont le cœur de chaque foyer de l’Ontario. Ils ont atteint un stade de leur vie où ils doivent compter sur d’autres personnes pour les soutenir et prendre soin d’eux, et bien que certains résidents ne puissent prendre soin d’eux-mêmes, beaucoup sont capables de défendre leurs droits et de prendre des décisions en ce qui concerne la gestion de leurs médicaments. L’engagement des résidents est essentiel pour rendre l’utilisation des médicaments plus sécuritaire. Cette initiative vise à vous aider, au moyen de ressources et de formation, à véritablement y parvenir. La collaboration entre le personnel et les résidents offre les meilleures chances possibles de garantir une utilisation sécuritaire des médicaments.
