 It will ensure that all the unit staff members are given a 4-hour course on medication safety which will involve lessons from different fields by the CUSP team. The drugstore will provide its employees with high-risk drugs, safety tools, the potential to avoid mistakes, and training every three months (Dineen-Griffin et al., 2020). Set up an auditing and error reporting system: The CUSP team will identify system deficiencies during regular monthly drug process checks, using a facility audit plan. During the next day, staff will report to EHR Safety Reporting System if they have seen any drug errors or near misses (McCarty, 2021). To monitor medication-related adverse events, length of stay, and deaths, the CUSP team will track the data at the beginning of the implementation and then every 3 months afterward (Narayanan et al., 2020). Cohort reports from the CUSP team will be reviewed by senior management regarding how well drug safety is being managed and training will be offered to units that are performing poorly. NURS FPX 8030 Assessment 5 process incorporates the best practices from AHRQ, ISMP, and recent studies regarding awareness, attitude change, technology integration, and constant oversight to improve medication safety. Discipline defines specific standards on what is expected of a person with an aim of promoting responsibility and accountability.
