Alliance for Patient Medication Safety
The Alliance for Patient Medication Safety (APMS) will serve as the premier national patient-centric medication safety evaluation system in the country.
APMS strives to foster a culture of quality within the profession of pharmacy that promotes a continuous systems analysis to develop best practices that will reduce medication errors, improve medication use and enhance patient care. APMS is dedicated to encourage voluntary reporting of patient safety work product and perform analysis and aggregate information to improve quality of care provided by the pharmacy workforce. Through analysis of collected patient safety work product data the PSO will provide recommendations for prevention of reported medication errors in order to improve patient safety and the delivery of quality health care. Our PSO will encourage a culture of safety by providing recommendations on best practices and workflow processes designed to reduce medication errors, improve medication use and minimize patient risk.
