Activity Overview

Clinical applications and systems use medication data in various ways within the medication use process. Therefore, understanding medication data from its clinical utilization to its technical infrastructure is fundamental to pharmacy informaticists and analysts in order to support the medication use process. This webinar will help pharmacy informaticists and analysts better understand medication data, where it can be exchanged, how to identify medications within a data set, and mapping medication data to standards that support interoperable exchange of medication information across disparate clinical systems. 

Accreditation

The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.

Target Audience

These activities were planned to meet the educational needs of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who interface with technologies supporting the medication use process.

Learning Objectives

  1. Describe commonly used medication standards.
  2. Explain various methods for medication data identification within a clinical data set.
  3. Describe the strengths and limitations of each method when operationalized.

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.
