More and more health plans are asking network pharmacies for documentation of the quality assurance program - or medication safety practice program - that the pharmacy uses.  Pharmacy Quality Commitment® (PQC®) introduces a positive discussion of the historically negative concept of pharmacy errors. It uses errors of the past as opportunities for improvement in the future. It encourages review of near misses and close calls as valuable learning opportunities. This program is used by close to 3,000 pharmacies, it is affordable and easy-to-use, and provides your pharmacy with critically important data you can use to enhance the safety of your operations.  A significant added bonus is that data provided to APMS is legally protected under federal law. In addition, participating pharmacies will receive recommendations on best practices and workflow processes to help reduce medication errors, improve medication use and enhance patient safety and health outcomes.

A standardized tool for compounding pharmacies to simply and effectively track and report any adverse events that are potentially associated with compounded medications.
