Medication event reporting

Hello MSOS,
My institution currently utilizes an electronic incident reporting system, Clarity, to capture medication related errors in the facility. But as you realize self-reporting is only the tip of the iceberg. We are trying to come up with other methods to increase reporting of medication events (and/or adverse events). So my question to the group is two-fold. Are there are other methods you utilize to improve reporting and identification of medication related events? And how do you encourage staff to report events? Thanks so much for your assistance.
Cicely Williams, PharmD.
