Medication Administration Cross checks (MACC) are how paramedics avoid medication errors. This seemingly simple safety process actually requires a large amount of what we call system one information (infthat the paramedic needs to be able to recall with little effort and quickly.) Paramedics need to have memorized the specifics of each medication they carry, including classifications, actions, indications, contraindications , and dosages. This knowledge, combined with a strong grasp of disease pathology create the foundation for this “simple” safety check to do what it is designed to do - stop errors!

2017N FACES
2017N is deep in to Paramedic III, their third semester. Part of this semester's work it learning to incorporate component skills in to a complex simulation scenario. Students must respond, assess the scene and patient, diagnose, implement a treatment plan, package, transport, and communicate effectively. Here is just a snap shot of one call with a medication check, med administration, documentation, and patient interaction. By the end of this semester, students will need to be able to put all of these skills and more to work without critical error. Their last step before beginning field internship in January.
