Safety Tip: Closing the Feedback Loop on QRE Reporting
Reporting QREs is a critical first step in documenting risks and harm. QRE reports can lead to actionable improvements in:
- workflow
- modified technology/software
- the pharmacy's workspace design
- quality of patient care
Closing the feedback loop is a positive step to increase employee engagement and improve the safety culture.
Does your Pharmacy have a plan to inform each employee of the changes that are made, and when these were the result of QRE reporting?
