     The Hospital Authority (HA) today (May 31) published the biannual issue of the Medication Safety Bulletin (MSB). This issue highlights the annual medication safety forum which was held last December, reminding colleagues of the safety tips for using insulin penfill and pre-filled cartridges.
 
     In addition, this latest issue shares the experience of the Hong Kong East Cluster, encouraging healthcare workers to utilise the default drug prescription set in the medicine prescription system, as well as regularly review and update the information in the system.
 
     The publication has already been posted on the HA homepage for sharing with healthcare staff. Members of the public are also welcome to browse its content at the following link: www.ha.org.hk/msb. The MSB is published every six months, during the last week of May and November. The next issue will be published on November 29, 2024.
