Medical Errors for Acupuncture Physicians (2 CEUs/3 PDAs)

Credits: 2 CEU (Continuing Education Units) for Florida re-licensure, 3 PDAs for NCCAOM re-certification


The course cites research into medical errors and best policy and procedure to prevent them in the Western medical system. It reviews contraindications and cautions for combining pharmaceutical and herbal medicine (and supplements), as well as for needle points in the practice of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine.


Course Goals:
1. To cover the subject of prevention of Medical Errors as defined by "Practice-based evidence" in federal research
2. To teach the practitioner how to mitigate and remedy errors that occur and formulate policy and procedure to prevent and minimize error, based on latest Western practice-based error research.
3. To apply this knowledge to specializations in alternative medicine, with a case study in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and the interaction between Western pharmaceuticals and herbal medicines.

Explanation:
In order to understand the problem that gave rise to the new State Licensure Requirements for Acupuncture Physicians, we begin by discussing medical errors in the U.S. healthcare system as documented since 1999. In reviewing how medical errors occur in this dominant healthcare system, we can understand how alternative medical approaches, specifically the practice of Oriental Medicine, acupuncture and/or herbal medicine, may produce similar opportunities for error.
