Abstract
- Medication errors involving look alike sound alike (LASA) medications have widely been recognized to contribute to patient harm. Oncology biosimilars are considered to be LASA medications and require additional measures for operational safety. The Cancer Care Alberta (CCA) Pharmacy Educators developed an education strategy to ensure operational and patient safety during the implementation phase for oncology biosimilars in Alberta, Canada. This resulted in a smooth adoption of oncology biosimilars. As future oncology biosimilars are introduced, this framework will serve as the foundation to educate and train oncology pharmacy staff.
