Medication Safety Zone Risk Assessment for New Facility

Good morning,

Our hospital is in the process of developing an architectural plan for a new patient tower, and we have been incorporated into a Safety Risk Assessment as recommended by the Center for Health Design and TJC. This includes a medication safety risk assessment, with the goal of improving medication safety by identifying medication safety zones and developing design features to mitigate risk. Has anyone else been involved in something similar? We would love any insight or guidance you may have.

Thanks,
Annie Wirtz
