Medication Safety FTEs

I am interested to see how other organizations are set up with their medication safety positions, and what their responsibilities are. Please consider answering the below questions.

How many FTEs does your organization have committed to medication safety?
How many hospitals do those FTEs oversee?
What is average number of beds in your hospitals?

Do your medication safety FTEs oversee any of the following?

Safety report review?
Lead root cause analysis?
Policy management?
Regulatory compliance?
Infusion pump library?
Process improvements?
Monitor safety related data/metrics?
Committee chair?
Others?

Thank you!
