Medication Safety Alerts
We encourage CareOregon providers to check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration MedWatch web site and sign up for the FDA Drug Safety Newsletter to receive safety alerts via e-mail. We will inform you if CareOregon takes any formulary actions in response to a safety alert.
Adverse Events and Errors
Be sure to report serious adverse events and medication errors. A medication error is "any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the healthcare professional, patient, or consumer. Such events may be related to professional practice; healthcare products, procedures, and systems, including prescribing; order communication; product labeling, packaging, and nomenclature; compounding; dispensing; distribution; administration; education; monitoring; and use."
- Report serious adverse medication reactions, product quality problems and usage errors online at www.fda.gov/medwatch, by phone or by submitting a MedWatch 3500 form by mail or fax.
- Report medication errors to CareOregon at 503-416-4100 or toll-free at 1-800-224-4840.

The Federal tamper-resistant prescription pad requirement that began on April 1, 2008, DOES NOT apply to CareOregon members.
