Expansion of Med Safety Pharmacist role

I am curious if there are any part-time medication safety officers/pharmacists out there. We are a 600 bed community hospital and I have worked in this position for quite some time and the challenge for the past few years is that the work of a MSOS is difficult to complete on a part-time status and safety initiatives/projects are difficult to initiate/complete in a timely manner or that you simply do not have the time to partake in every project/committee that you would like to.

What have you done to prioritize your work and/or if you were successful in expanding your role to full-time?
