What are the Pathways for Medication Safety® tools referred to in question 13?
These are a set of comprehensive tools that were designed to address hospital needs identified in the 2000 ISMP Medication Safety Self Assessment®. They consist of Leading a Strategic Planning Effort, Looking Collectively at Risk, and Assessing Bedside Bar-Coding Readiness. The tools can be found and downloaded at http://www.medpathways.info/medpathways/index.jsp. If no one on the team completing the assessment has heard of these tools than your hospital most likely has not utilized them and you should answer NO.
