Benchmarking / Dashboards / Metrics

Hello -

Recognizing that 'medication error rates' captured by voluntary incident reports is the least effective and least reliable determinant of true error rates / benchmarking....

I wondered if other institutions have developed executive-level (or really any level) benchmarks / dashboards / metrics which they follow in their health system to track performance improvement within medication safety and safety realms?

I would be particularly interested if anyone has develop these measures in the outpatient / ambulatory spaces as well.

Thank you in advance for your time and attention!
Sincerely,
Emily
