| Popis: | The Peer Review Committee at a Midwest hospital identified a knowledge deficit relative to medication administration. A continuing increase in the number of medication errors helped the committee to address the issue in a creative and educational way that reinforced knowledge of medication administration. Under the guidance of the Director of Education, employees who recently made medication errors developed and implemented a creative medication administration learning opportunity for hospital employees. The employees chose a project theme, developed educational workstations, and used creative approaches to increase awareness of medication administration pitfalls. This article explains the process of implementing and delivering this fun and exciting learning activity. Theme-based educational experiences are effective teaching strategies that can be used to trigger participants’ learning in almost any setting. |
