Medication errors are an iatrogenic threat to patient safety, and recently graduated Junior Medical Officers (JMOs) are a common source of these errors. A ward-based, physician-led, small-group interactive teaching session was developed to improve JMOs competence in prescribing. The ability of JMOs to detect problems in mock medication charts before and after the teaching session was assessed, with the majority improving after the intervention, a result sustained on re-testing later in the year. The teaching sessions were well received by JMOs.
用药错误是对患者安全的医源性威胁,最近毕业的初级医师(JMOs)是这些错误的常见来源。开发了一种基于病房、由医生领导的小组互动教学课程,以提高 JMOs 的处方能力。在教学课程前后评估了 JMOs 在模拟用药图表中检测问题的能力,大多数人在干预后有所提高,这一结果在当年晚些时候的重新测试中得到了维持。JMOs 对这些教学课程的反应良好。
