Ep61: Using Your ACE in the Hole to Prevent Medication Errors w/ Lidia Molinara

December 16, 2024 • Dr. Eric Fethke

How can we practice preventative healthcare?

Joining from Canada this week is Lidia Molinara, a seasoned clinical pharmacist, CEO, patient safety officer, and fervent advocate for patient safety and effective communication within the healthcare system.

Recalling her earliest experiences visiting pharmacies and the influence that has held on her clinical approach, Lidia encourages a deepening of the patient-physician dynamic - building good health and quality healthcare on advocacy, communication, and education.

——

We spoke about the importance of safety, some of the issues that are intrinsic to our use of medications, her personal experiences encountering medical issues, and some strong and easily applicable solutions traced out through her ACE framework.
