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.
2012 Abstract Application Process
In 2012, an abstract screening component is being added to the Award for Excellence in Medication-Use Safety application process. Applicants are required to submit an abstract that describes their medication safety initiative. These abstracts will be reviewed by external expert reviewers. Based on results of the abstract review process, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application for the award.
A concise description of your institution's medication safety initiative should be provided in the abstract. This description must not exceed 750 words. Adequate information should be provided to enable reviewers to assess the following:
Medication-Use System Initiative; Scope; Pharmacist Leadership; Planning and Implementation; Measurable Outcomes and Impact; and Innovation and Generalizability.
