Activity Overview
Autoverification occurs when a medication is entered and released, bypassing the pharmacist verification step, and is automatically verified in the EHR. Another term for autoverification may be “risk-stratified assisted verification.” The SOPIT/SICP SAG on Medication Safety Autoverification Task Force would like to present the tool kit that was developed for ASHP membership for consideration when implementing autoverification. This webinar will review the background, survey results, and overview of the tool kit. Three members will also highlight how the toolkit was applied for decision-making in their organizations.

Disclosures
In accordance with the ACPE's and ACCME's Standards for Commercial Support, anyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity is required to disclose to the accredited provider their relevant financial relationships. In accordance with these Standards, all potential conflicts of interest have been resolved. An individual has a relevant financial relationship if he or she (or spouse/domestic partner) has a financial relationship in any amount occurring in the last 12 months with a commercial interest whose products or services are discussed in the activity content over which the individual has control.
As defined by ACCME, a commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The Standards for Commercial Support do not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. The existence or non-existence of relevant financial relationships will be disclosed to the activity audience. All identified conflicts of interest must be resolved prior to the activity.
- All planners, presenters, reviewers, and ASHP staff report no financial relationships relevant to this activity.
