Working to reduce medical errors and improve safety for people receiving health care in Washington.

Medication Safety Network

In early 2009, the Coalition began sponsoring the Medication Safety Network, a group of professionals who meet to exchange information and experiences that can improve medication-related challenges for our patients in all settings. Membership is open to anyone who is involved in medication safety activities in their practice setting.

What we are…

  • Medication safety experts sharing knowledge to improve patient care and outcomes.

Our goals:

  • Focus on medication management.
  • Share best practices and standards of practice.
  • Provide an open forum for collaboration
  • Be proactive on medication activities and risks.
  • Be transparent and maintain open communication.
  • Encourage active participation from the entire group.
  • Support all delivery systems and practice settings.

What we are not…

  • Just another meeting to attend
  • A formal group with agendas, presentations, minutes, etc.
  • A forum to promote products.
