Webinar: Improving Safety with Psychotropic Medications: MedWise

Dr. Ajit Ninan, MD, FRCPC, Medical Director; Ross Evans, RPh., BScPhm, MAJourn

Description:

The risk–benefit ratio of a particular medication is an ongoing evaluation that is specific to each individual.  Effective monitoring and communication of medication effects by the individual and the treatment team can increase medication benefits by identifying adverse effects if/when they occur. This information impacts the risk-benefit ratio and plays an important role in making therapeutic decisions to optimize medication therapy. This presentation will demonstrate how “MedWise” a virtual tool for monitoring side effects, can make this process easier and more effective.     

There is no cost for webinars. Webinars use an online platform called Adobe Connect, which requires you to have a computer, internet connection, and access to a phone line. Adobe Connect works best in updated browsers such as Google Chrome or FireFox.
