Medication Safety vs. Pharmacy (...or are they one in the same?)

Hello!

Looking to get a little information regarding reporting structure and division of work / resources:

1) Do you have a separate medication safety team?
2) What department does your medication safety team or MSO report up through?
3) If willing - can you comment on pros/cons of your reporting structure?
4) How is work delineated between Medication Safety and Pharmacy? How do you determine initiatives owned and operationalized by the pharmacy department vs. medication safety? (i.e. how do these two teams typically divide and conquer?)

Thanks so much in advance!
Emily
