There is a new website named "the High Performance PharmacySM Web Site", based on a landmark study by The Health Systems Pharmacy Executive Alliance. The study identifies proven best practices for achieving high performance across 8 dimensions of hospital pharmacy practice.The High Performance PharmacySM project, an ongoing initiative of the Health Systems Pharmacy Executive Alliance, seeks to identify how hospital pharmacies can enhance their performance—and prominence—within the health systems they serve. The High Performance Pharmacy study, the latest product of the Executive Alliance's research, identifies the 8 areas, or "dimensions," in which hospital pharmacies should strive to achieve high performance.
The 8 dimensions are:
1. Leadership
2. Medication preparation and delivery
3. Patient care services
4. Medication safety
5. Medication use policy
6. Financial performance
7. Human Resources management
8. Education
2. Medication preparation and delivery
3. Patient care services
4. Medication safety
5. Medication use policy
6. Financial performance
7. Human Resources management
8. Education
Building on the 8 dimensions, the High Performance Pharmacy study identifies over 70 performance elements—structures, policies, procedures, activities, and practices—that serve as indicators of high performance and result in a financial or clinical return on investment of resources.
