The Regional Medication Safety Program for Hospitals is a collaborative patient safety effort among 65 local hospitals in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties to uniformly focus on 16 proven action goals to reduce medication errors. The program, introduced to this region in June 2001, is the result of a unique partnership between the Delaware Valley Healthcare Council (DVHC) and its affiliate, the Health Care Improvement Foundation (HCIF), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), and ECRI.
