"This book is a great resource for pharmacists and pharmacy students who want to learn about safety and quality in pharmacy practice."--Laura Cranston, RPh, Executive Director, The Pharmacy Quality Alliance
Quality and Safety in Pharmacy Practice details the principles, approaches, strategies, and actions necessary to improve the overall safety and effectiveness of pharmacy services. Although one of the book’s primary goals is to enhance the quality of future health care, you will find guidelines that can be implemented immediately to improve today’s pharmacy practice.

Quality and Safety in Pharmacy Practice is divided into five parts, covering:
The current and future landscape of health care quality and the business case for quality improvement and value-driven health care
Quality improvement concepts and tools, including statistical process control
Quality and safety measurement, including mechanisms for gathering consumer feedback
