Spell It Out! Do-Not-Use Abbreviations Pocket Card
2005.
Build awareness about and compliance with The Joint Commission's list of Do-Not-Use Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Symbols, which is required through National Patient Safety Goal 2B. Communication between health care providers must be clear and precise to avoid life-threatening medical errors. A pharmacist could misread a prescription or a nurse could administer the wrong dose to a patient if they misinterpret the physician's handwritten abbreviations. By using this quick-reference, pocket-sized laminated card with the message to prohibit the use of Joint Commission-required abbreviations, organizations will reduce the risk of medication errors and improve communication and patient safety.
Set of 10 pocket cards.
Also available as a kit and in the form of pens, clipboards, laminated posters (8.5" x 11"), and sheets of stickers. See the related products listed below.
