Owen Mumford releases injection pen training video for healthcare professionals

Owen Mumford has released a new injection pen training video.

Developed in collaboration with consultant pharmacists and nursing professionals, the video addresses critical steps when clinically administering insulin via injection pens and is particularly beneficial for healthcare providers in long-term care, acute care and alternate care sites.

The use of injection pens can be complex, resulting in the potential for medication errors. Instances of medication errors involving insulin administration pose significant health risks for patients and often result in Ftag citations and increased fines for skilled nursing facilities. Recognizing this challenge, Owen Mumford developed this video to help bridge a training gap.

“This training video was designed for healthcare professionals, based on feedback from healthcare professionals,” said Casey Pflieger, senior director of pharmacy services at Owen Mumford. “While our safety pen needles are an essential component of the injection process, we identified a clear void in the availability of training materials focused on the use of injection pens in clinical settings. This video addresses that need, providing step-by-step guidance to better safeguard patients and help facilities reduce CMS audit risks.”

By providing a training video with clear guidance on the critical steps for administering insulin using injection pens, Owen Mumford is assisting healthcare providers in improving patient safety, minimizing medication errors, and helping facilities meet and stay compliant.
