Who conducts med-related RCA?

I'd like to hear what is the structure for conducting medication-related RCAs in your organization.

Who does the RCAs in your hospital?
Risk, or Quality & Patient Safety dept, or
the MedSafety person (Pharmacy)

If the Med Safety person is responsible for the RCAs, what is the level of involvement?
MedSafety helps by investigating medication process component;
or MedSafety facilitates and conducts all aspects of the RCA process?

When/how is Risk involved in the RCAs?

thanks!
Susan
