Free FDA Email Alert Notifications for AAN Members
The American Academy of Neurology and the Health Care Notification Network (HCNN) have teamed up to offer AAN members a FREE online service that delivers timely neurology-specific FDA-mandated patient safety drug alerts electronically. This important patient safety benefit is FREE to AAN members, but sign-up is necessary.
Benefits- The HCNN is the only network that delivers FDA-required drug alerts for recalls and warnings to physicians and prescribers online
- Excellent opportunity for practicing neurologists to quickly and conveniently stay current on specialty-specific FDA alerts in order to provide the safest and best possible care for their patients
- Alerts are targeted by specialty—not all doctors get all alerts, so participants can expect to receive less than one alert per week, on average
- Alerts are emailed immediately from the FDA—no delays in receiving urgent news
- All the largest pharmaceutical firms are engaged with the HCNN
- Convenient vehicle for forwarding appropriate warnings to patients
- Improves patient safety and reduces physician liability
- Endorsed by major liability carriers and medical societies
- No paper or mailbox clutter
- Physicians can have a copy of the alerts sent to up to three additional office staff, such as a nurse or receptionist
- Delivery is guaranteed—if you don't open the email within 72 hours, this will trigger a postal delivery of the information.
