The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Research and Education Foundation created the Award for Excellence in Medication-Use Safety in 2004. This is the only award program to honor a pharmacist-led multidisciplinary team for its significant institution-wide system improvements relating to medication use.

The $50,000 award, which is sponsored by the Cardinal Health Foundation, recognizes on a national level pharmacy professionals who have assumed a leadership role in promoting safety in the medication-use process. The award also honors two finalists, who each receive $10,000. 2010 Application Process Download the 2010 Application Eligibility and Selection Criteria Selection Panel View slides from 2009 Webinar, "Tackling the Application" 2009 Awards Recipients Awards Recipients Awards Ceremonies Awards Videos Patient Safety Awareness Week Radio Interviews
