Medication Safety Governance Structure and Monitoring Process

Hi all,

We have been expanding our services to an increasing number of satellite sites across our state. With this, the ability to oversee the medication use process has become increasingly complex and challenging. We are therefore exploring how to expand our medication safety team. I was wondering if you would mind sharing your medication safety governance structure, including reporting structure (pharmacy versus patient safety department), and whether you oversee other medication safety employees, and what types of committees you use to help prioritize safety initiatives.

Anything you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Audrea
