Our mission is to improve patient safety associated with pharmacy compounded sterile preparations by raising the competency of those preparing the medications through training.
Our model is simple – partner with well-known experts in their given fields to write the training modules, and then deliver carefree and consistent training electronically. Staff can access the training whenever it’s most convenient for them, and complete it at their own pace. Our Learning Management System (LMS) provides peace-of-mind by tracking staff training status and generating on-demand reports. Since CriticalPoint training is electronic, it avoids printing, collating, and storing large amounts of paper versus “hard copy” training, for a more environmentally friendly solution that can still be produced easily in case of audits.
Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and nurses in hospital, home infusion, and nuclear medicine settings worldwide use CriticalPoint training programs to improve competency and patient safety. CriticalPoint can adapt our ready-to-use training programs to work on your Learning Management System, and will also partner with you to develop custom training programs. |

Math Skills for Pharmacy Practice |
 CriticalPoint announces the launch of its latest training module, Fundamental Math Skills for Pharmacy Practice. This interactive, Web-based program teaches pharmacy-related mathematics in five lessons using real world applications and interactive exercises to teach key concepts. See example below for a demonstration. A secure exam is administered online with each module and successful participants can print off their certificate of completion immediately. The program can be used in its entirety as a self-study or group training tool, or individual modules can be pulled out and used for training as employees add responsibilities or change to different specialties within the pharmacy. In addition, the exam bank can be used for annual competency testing, preparing for the PTCB exam, or new hire screening. This program will benefit pharmacists, technicians, and students by building a proper understanding of the mathematical principles of hospital pharmacy practice. For more information click here.
