  Clinical pharmacists are suited through their training to address these three medication-related issues, says Kasey Thompson, PharmD, director of the Center on Patient Safety for the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists."There is literally only one practitioner that has the education and training and credentials to focus entirely on medication use and that is the pharmacists," he says.

  The new survey can encourage hospitals to focus strongly on patient safety, Thompson observed.That's because Leapfrog is an increasingly prominent employer coalition that includes about 150 corporations and more than 34 million enrollees.In April, the coalition expanded its initiative to cover 12 new regions, thus reaching about 40% of all consumers in the country in a total of 24 regions.
  
  Hospitals nationwide are invited to participate voluntarily, and regional results are posted when the numbers within a specific region warrant comparisons.
  
  "This is a very positive move for hospital pharmacists," said Thompson.

  "The reality is that when somebody is killed, it's pretty hard to sweep it under the rug," said Kasey Thompson, director, Center on Patient Safety at ASHP."More and more organizations are coming forward to admit their role in errors."
  
  What institutions should do after an error and what they actually do are not always the same, Thompson explained.In theory, the patient and patient family must be informed as soon as an error is recognized, he said.The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations must also be informed if the error results in a fatality or serious adverse effect.State and local health authorities must be notified in some jurisdictions.
  
  If the error is serious, Thompson continued, JCAHO requires hospitals to conduct a root cause analysis to determine the reasons for the error.The hospital must then outline steps it will take to prevent similar errors.JCAHO evaluates both the analysis and the corrective measures, Thompson said, adding that analyzing and correcting one error is not enough.Institutions need to examine their systems before anything goes wrong to find and correct potential problems.
  
  The practice is called failure mode effects analysis, Thompson explained.
