About IIHMR University
The IIHMR University, Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur has
been contributing towards this very topical issue of international
importance through its flagship yearly WHO sponsored International Courses
in Promoting Rational Drug Use in Communities (PRDUC) for last 12 years. To
addresses the issues related to Patient medication safety and rational use
of medicine in community, a Management Development Program on Patient
Medication safety and Rational Use of Medicines is being organized at
IIHMR from April, 25-29, 2016.
Why this training course?
WHO reports that 10% of patients worldwide are affected due to errors in
medical care. This also estimates that in developed nation between 7.5% and
10.4% of patients in acute care settings and 13% in ambulatory settings
experience adverse drug events. Medication management process is vulnerable
to a number of 'medication misadventures or errors' ranging from
inappropriate selection, prescribing, storage, dispensing, administration
of medicines, lack of patient information.
Medication errors are quite common in heailth-care institution, though there
is no supporting data. Alert health providers can intercept errors and
prevent harm reaching the patients.
Inefficient and irrational use of medicines is prevalent at all levels of
health care leading to poor availability of essential medicines, wastage of
scare resources as well as reduced medication safety in patients, a major
concern all over the world.
Many of these sources of wastage could be reduced if some simple principles
of medication management ensuring rational and appropriate uses of
medicines are followed. However, it is difficult to implement these
principles because staff from many different disciplines are involved in
different aspects of drug management as well as use and are not aware of
principles involved in both.Through this training programme the healthcare
stake holders are make aware and enable them to manage efficient and
rational use of medicine in their community.
