    Medication Safety at Summer Camps

    As the school year is winding down, children across the nation are getting ready to attend summer camps. Many of them will need prescription and over-the-counter medications while they’re at camp, away from their parents and primary care providers. If camps aren’t ready to manage the responsibilities of storing and managing those meds, their campers could be at risk. In this episode, Randi Trope, D.O., Vice Chair of Pediatric Quality & Safety, Stony Brook Children's Hospital in New York and a member of the advisory board for the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), and Jen Young, PharmD, BCPS, CSP, a pharmacist and medication safety specialist at ISMP, describe safety tips for camp operators, pharmacists, and families. To see more camp safety guidance from ISMP, see https://www.consumermedsafety.org; learn more about ISMP’s medication safety work at www.ISMP.org.

    The Myth of the Five Rights for Safe Medication Administration

    The idea of the “five rights” for medication safety has been taught in nursing school since at least World War II, used as a memory tool that nurses should rely on to administer medications safely. Even though no one can identify where the five rights came from, the idea is embedded in medication safety programs and appears frequently in error reports submitted to ECRI and the ISMP Patient Safety Organization. As our guest Susan Paparella, Vice President, Services, Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), points out, the five rights are inadequate as a safety tool. Because they do not address the system-level errors that contribute to medication errors, those errors can occur even when the five rights have been followed. In the latest episode, we discuss more about the shortcomings of the five rights, and better starting points for medication safety programs.
