| Popis: | Background: The pharmacy department at the study site provides ongoing education on medication safety to the hospital staff through a variety of means. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate and compare various forms of education and the clinical impact and satisfaction reported by staff. Methods: A survey was disseminated to staff across the hospital, and 81 responses were collected. Results: Staff preferred learning through a combination of teaching methods rather than individual modalities. The majority of respondents stated that they felt their knowledge of medication safety improved after education and that the content was actionable. Most staff also agreed or strongly agreed that education positively impacted their clinical practice. Staff preferences regarding education were also themed around different learning modalities, quick and concise messages, topics of medication updates, and relevance to practice. Preferences of the hospital staff will be aligned with education strategies based on this evaluation. |
