Optimizing Medication Safety and Efficacy in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Friday, June 6, 2025, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, CHOP HUB, Philadelphia, PA


Neonatal Healthcare providers are frequently challenged with the safest and most effective medication to choose for their patients who are in the neonatal intensive care unit. This one-day course will provide an overview of medication safety and specific medication updates including indications, dosing, and safety considerations. Ample time is available to share the different perspectives of pharmacists, nurses, APPs, and physicians and increase attention to medication safety.

1. 90% will be able to describe at least two reasons why patients in the neonatal ICU are at high risk for medication errors.
2. 90% will be able to identify at least 2 medications for which you gained new knowledge that will be useful in clinical practice.
3. 90% will be able to list interprofessional team communications strategies that enhance medication safety in the Neonatal ICU.

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
