Med Safety FTE structure

Hello everyone,

We are assessing our resource model for med safety, and I am looking to learn more or connect with hospitals that have utilized a model similar to the proposed future state described below. Please share your experience or let me know if you are willing to connect offline. Thank you in advance!

Current state: All med safety resources (3 FTE) in the patient safety department; partnerships with key departments informal or through committee structures (pharmacy, anesthesia, nursing, clinical units)

Proposed future state: Partial FTE dedicated to med safety in key departments, along with full time FTEs in Patient Safety department. For example, clinical pharmacists with a partial FTE dedicated to medication safety, working directly with the medication safety specialist(s)/officer.
(We also interested if you have a model that is the inverse of this.)
