Time: 1.05 hours

Description: First Healthcare Compliance hosts an interactive discussion on "Automatic Dispensing Cabinets, Patient Care, & the Actual Sentence in the RaDonda Vaught Case." A former nurse was charged, criminally prosecuted, and in March 2022, tried for a 2017 fatal drug error. To prevent similar situations, this webinar approaches the facts and circumstances, which led to the fatal error, and the role that Automatic Dispensing Cabinets (ADCs) played in the process. The purpose of the webinar is to inform participants of a myriad of items so that facilities can evaluate and implement appropriate safeguards, train nurses and other staff, and take corrective actions before an adverse patient outcome occurs. What happened here is preventable, and nurses should not flee the profession, especially because of the compassion shown to the nurse by the judge.

Objectives:

•  Appreciate the timeline of events and the role that various parties allegedly played, including Automatic Dispensing Cabinets.
•  Understand the process and the interplay of different proceedings.
•  Learn compliance tips to prevent a similar outcome.
