Med safety metrics and FTEs

Hi,

We are evaluating our med safety program to determine if we are resourced appropriately. We're hoping to benchmark ourselves against other institutions. I would appreciate any of the following information:

How many med safety FTEs do you have?

Total # beds covered?

# of hospitals?

If more than one, does each hospital have designated med safety resources?

Does hospital med safety cover ambulatory sites?

What metrics do you use to evaluate med safety resources?

Thank you!!
