Activity Outline Description: This series of educational webinars is designed to aid physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, certified public health professionals, other health care professionals, and students, to provide better patient care by knowing how to find relevant FDA regulatory information that will improve drug safety. This webinar will provide an overview of REMS and discuss how the REMS safety requirements impact prescribers, dispensers and patients. Participants should gain an understanding of the REMS authorities, how REMS are implemented, and the entities that provide oversite and support. REMS is a drug safety program that the FDA can require for certain medications with serious safety concerns to help ensure the benefits of the medication outweigh its risks. REMS are designed to reinforce medication use behaviors and actions that support the safe use of that medication. While all medications have labeling that informs health care stakeholders about medication risks, only a few medications require a REMS. References: Series Objectives: -
Explain how to utilize FDA's drug information, medication safety resources, and regulatory guidance, to improve delivery of patient care and optimize outcomes. -
Describe and inform health care providers of recent labeling changes which would impact prescribing and medication management to optimize patient care. Learning Objectives: After completion of this activity, the participant will be able to: -
Describe when the FDA can require a REMS. -
List the different elements of Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategies. -
Identify REMS resources available to healthcare professionals. -
Discuss the possible enforcement actions by the FDA. Target Audience: This activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, certified public health professionals, other health care professionals, and students. Schedule:
