Document Summary
As a new iu health employee, a portion of your orientation will focus on safe medication. You will participate in a safe medication administration assessment during phase 1 of c. o. r. e. This packet contains some guidance for preparation for that activity, a list of safe medication administration resources available to iu health employees, as wells as a set of practice questions. Please take the opportunity to review and prepare. You may also use a calculator and the enclosed conversion chart. The assessment will include several key points of safe medication administration practices expected at iu health. Do not use abbreviations (dnua) and appropriate substitutions. Requirements of patient identification and allergy confirmation at iu health. Identification and usage of approved iu health resources and equipment. At iu health any employee who administers medication is responsible for utilizing the 5+2. While we do employ some technology to assist with this process, nothing replaces the health care professional at the bedside.
