Educational strategies: Kaiser Permanente of Ohio shares its successful techniques.
What strategies are effective for educating your medical staff about medications and medication-related issues? Kaiser Permanente of Ohio has developed an educational program for its medical staff that involves four key components: a custom-designed formulary handbook, drug fairs, traditional letter/newsletter communication pieces and educational meetings, and collaborative projects between its pharmacy and medical staffs. These educational techniques--many of which have been successfully adapted from the pharmaceutical industry--can be adopted for use at your institution.
