CM Health has a directive of achieving Zero Patient Harm. To help achieve this all nurses, both clinical and non-clinical are expected to successfully complete the Medication Safety Package.

Full credentialing for the Medication Safety Certification Process involves successfully completing all 3 stages of the process.

The 3 stages include:

• This e-learning package
