Quality Improvement in Health Care: Opportunities and Responsibilities for Pharmacists
Abstract
Quality in health care has never been more important than today. As health care providers, pharmacists have an obligation to serve as leaders and visionaries and actively demonstrate and document the advances that patient-centered pharmacy services can provide. Many agencies and organizations have developed initiatives to advance patient care through quality improvement measures and patient safety programs. Pharmacists, both individually and collectively, must actively engage in quality improvement and patient safety programs that elevate care and support the evidence base for clinical pharmacy services.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
