PharMerica's Model Antibiotic Stewardship Program Updated for 2026
PharMerica’s model antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) addresses core elements of medication stewardship as recommended by the CDC, including facility leadership support, accountability, antibiotic use policies, tracking tools, and infection management guidelines. Our program is reviewed annually by an infectious disease specialist to ensure the program is up to date with current best practices.
Did You Know? Medications with Shortened Expiration Dates
Once certain products are opened and in use, they must be used within a specific timeframe to avoid reduced stability, sterility and potentially reduced efficacy. This list, newly updated, is abridged to cover some common medications whose package inserts detail shortened expirations once in-use.
High blood pressure remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, making it the most prevalent, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In response, professional organizations have updated their guidelines to emphasize lower blood pressure targets. However, tighter blood pressure control in frail older adults can increase the risk of adverse consequences, including falls and fractures.
This webinar will provide training and support to nurses and nurse administrators who work in the community I/DD setting by reviewing best practices for the day-to-day operational management of medications.
This training encompasses the cycle fill process, effective EMAR utilization, proper drug disposition, and vigilance in preventing mismanaged medications and medication errors.
Streamlining Medication Pass in Senior Living Communities
Medication administration in senior living environments can be complex and time-consuming. Streamlining the medication pass process improves safety, supports staff efficiency, and enhances residents’ quality of life.
This program focuses on practical strategies to make medication administration more effective and efficient by reducing unnecessary complexity.
When one steps into the role of DON, there's a lot to learn. Understanding the questions to ask, the information to gather, and the groundwork to cover can help overcome the inevitable challenges that arise.
