Your Monthly Med Safety Tip from Alliance for Patient Medication Safety: Point of Sale - Implement Safety Checks to Prevent Mix-Ups Is everyone in the pharmacy aware of the safety policies and procedures and the reasons why these are implemented? Are the policies and procedures followed? Or, have workarounds and shortcuts replaced them in everyday operations? Does the overriding culture in your pharmacy focus on safety? Or, has a competing force resulted in unconscious support and encouragement of workaround and shortcuts that deviate from policies and procedures? #PSOPower, #PatientSafety, #CommunityPharmacy, #MedicationSafety
