Medication Safety Metrics

Our institution is heavily focusing on metrics and we cannot seem to come up with an appropriate medication safety metric. I don't personally like reported number of ADEs as this a voluntary system. We have our compliance rates for barcoding and smart pumps but want something that shows our level of busyness and can measure what the medication safety portion of our team is doing. What safety metrics are other institutions doing? For reference we are a 208 bed community, teaching institution. Thank you!
