AHRQ Hosts October 29 Webinar about the Pharmacy Survey on Patient Safety Culture

Join AHRQ on October 29 from 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET to learn more about the Pharmacy Survey on Patient Safety Culture and find out how two organizations are using their survey results to implement patient safety and quality improvement initiatives in their pharmacies. The Pharmacy Survey on Patient Safety Culture is a measurement tool that enables pharmacies to assess areas of strength and identify areas for improvement in their patient safety culture as part of their quality improvement activities.

Speakers include:

• Diane Cousins, R.Ph., AHRQ (Host)
• Joann Sorra, Ph.D., Project Director, User Network for Surveys on Patient Safety Culture, Westat, Rockville, MD.
• James Motz, R.Ph., Specialty Pharmacy – Program Manager, Aurora Pharmacy, Inc., Elm Grove, WI.
• Dawn Amerman, Store Manager, Dexter Pharmacy/Village Pharmacy II, Dexter, MI.

Improving the culture of safety within health care is an essential component of preventing or reducing errors and improving overall health care quality. Pharmacies that administer the survey will be able to participate in an upcoming comparative database in September 2014. Select to register.
