EMM Essentials

EMM Essentials

The EMM Essentials program is designed for Pharmacists, Technicians and Students that may have no to limited experience with Electronic Medication Management systems, or are working in a 'digital hospital' as a user of an EMM system that want to know more of what's happening behind-the-scenes. Starting with a self-paced learning package that includes: 

  • walking through different EMM systems and how they each approach common needs like ordering, administering and history taking of medications; 
  • how EMM data looks in the 'backend' compared to what users can see in the system itself; 
  • approaches to governing digital health solutions; clinical incidents in digital hospitals; 
  • benefits and barriers to closed loop medications management; and 
  • clinical decision support in EMM. 

The live day will be interactive, providing opportunities to follow-up and explore questions arising from the learning package and your experiences, including sessions on: 

  • the breadth of skills and day-to-day tasks an 'EMM pharmacist' can face across Australia; 
  • snapshot panel on EMM around the country; 
  • how pharmacy documentation has been reviewed and renewed to support effectiveness in a digital hospital; 
  • presentation by the Commission on how the standardisation of the national inpatient medication chart (NIMC) is being reapplied for EMM; and
  • workshop on clinical incidents in EMM systems 

Seminar leads James Grant and Jillian Campbell from the SHPA eMM Leadership Committee look forward to seeing you on the day and sharing our passion for EMM and digital health!

This seminar will be delivered by a combination of a staged release self-paced learning package (from mid-July) followed by a one day live virtual seminar on Saturday 27 August 2022.
