This course provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to identify, prevent, and manage Look-Alike, Sound-Alike (LASA) medication errors during the prescribing process. LASA errors are a significant cause of medication-related harm and can occur when drugs with similar looking or sounding names are confused, potentially resulting in serious patient safety incidents.
Through interactive modules, real-world examples and a case study, this course explores the root causes of LASA errors, the high-risk medications most commonly involved, and the system-level strategies that can reduce their occurrence. Learners will gain insights into human factors and best practices for safe prescribing, including promoting a culture of safety through reporting and learning from errors.Approx time to complete: 2–3 hours, including self-directed learning from recommended references.
