The Maine Health Management Coalition's safety survey assesses the protocols and practices in hospitals related to the safe use of medications. In 2008, the survey focused on five elements: how prescriptions are double-checked; how medicines are given; how medicine is stored; use of bar code scanning technology to confirm patient identity and medication information prior to administering medications; and established systems to identify and follow patients with poor renal function. The survey is designed by a committee of hospital pharmacists and is currently being updated for 2009.
