Early results indicate that consumers are willing to report medication incidents, and that these reports provide useful information that can be used to identify potential solutions to enhance the safety of the medication use system.This one hour webinar will highlight early results from www.SafeMedicationUse.ca – a new component of the Canadian Medication Incident Reporting and Prevention System (CMIRPS).Learning Objectives:At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
