Course objectives
The aim of the course is: - To introduce medication errors as one of the problems of contemporary health care from different perspectives to undergraduate students of medical, but especially non-medical disciplines, and thus broaden their horizons. - To promote awareness, the importance of vigilance of all participants, including the patient, and the importance of established prevention systems, all in the context of human health. - To support students in transferring the knowledge of their parent discipline outside of it, in skills of interdisciplinary collaboration, in working with information resources, critical thinking, and evaluation.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: - define medication errors in general, give some examples; - define the risk places in the process of handling medicines (where errors can occur, who makes errors most often and why), suggest preventive measures, especially from the perspective of the field of study; - explain the concept of evidence-based medicine; - propose points of patient involvement in the prevention and management of medication errors; - critically evaluate sources of information; - provide effective feedback.
