10:05 am – “Medicine safety & preventing medicine-related poisonings” UAN: 0036-9999-20-152-L05-P/T
Jennifer Eskridge, MPh
More than 47,000 children under age 6 are seen in emergency rooms across the U.S. every year for medicine-related poisonings. That is the equivalent of five children every hour. Older children and adults are also at risk for harm and from misuse and abuse. With more medicine in homes today than ever before, safety measures and prevention education are crucial to reducing the risk of injury. This session will provide context for this issue by reviewing Oregon Poison Center exposure data and discussing exposure trends. The presenter will describe common substances and behaviors responsible for medicine-related poisonings, identify strategies for patient safety and highlight medicine-related poison prevention efforts underway in the community.
11:00am– “Cultural Competence: A Primer for Pharmacy Practice” UAN: 0036-9999-20-153-L04-P/T
Anita Cleven, PharmD
Pharmacists and technicians are well positioned to make an impact in the lives of their patients. In order to provide effective pharmaceutical care, a patient’s cultural influences on health outcomes needs to be considered. Culture is a dynamic process that requires a concerted effort by pharmacy personnel in order to understand and respect patients’ beliefs. This session will explore cultural competence and its importance in pharmacy practice.
