Adverse drug events (ADEs) are far too common, and their impact is undeniable. Most ADEs are preventable, meaning providers can reduce them to improve their status in the care network.

Medication errors often happen during the process of administration, documentation, transcription, prescription, and dispensing. Understanding how and when providers can intervene will help reduce the potential for ADEs and improve outcomes when they occur.

Join us on Thursday, 7/28 to learn more about the costs associated with ADEs and how your facilities can prevent them – register for the webinar here: https://base10.info/3NHDsAz

Heart disease is a serious concern for all of us, especially for people in nursing homes. For these individuals, heart disease is the leading cause of death and often results from chronic, progressive conditions that are difficult to treat.

Nursing home residents with chronic cardiovascular disease are frequently referred to emergency rooms during episodes of acute exacerbation and many are eventually hospitalized. Many medications that are commonly prescribed to treat such disease states have outcomes that may be influenced by a patient’s genetic makeup.

Join next week's webinar: "Understanding Cardiovascular Disease Through a Different Lens with Precision Medicine"! BASE10 subject matter experts will discuss how your genes affect heart health and the implications of pharmacogenomics on cardiovascular medications.
