I may soon have the opportunity to develop a new department charged with leadership and coordination of medication quality and safety across a 15-hospital health care system.\u00a0The health-system also includes a physician practice employing\u00a0the majority of\u00a0the system physicians, a health plan, a next generation ACO, an extensive outpatient facilities including retail pharmacies, urgent care centers, and some partnerships with non-system facilities.<\/p>\n

In the current structure, the academic health center\/quaternary referral center leads all medication efforts for the system.\u00a0 Much of the focus for this structure is on safety.\u00a0 The new System Medication Quality & Safety Officer will report up through the Chief Pharmacy Officer, ultimately to the System Chief Medical Officer.\u00a0 Interestingly, the 15 hospital pharmacy directors will continue to report through each facility’s Chief Operating Officer, ultimately to the System Chief Operating Officer.\u00a0 It is evident that this position will need to use relationships\/impact\u00a0and influence to affect change.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0In developing this\u00a0new role, what should the first 90 days in this new position look like?<\/li>\n
  2. How do I best balance all of the opportunities (mile wide) vs. being able to strategically focus (mile deep)?\u00a0 What is the highest priority?<\/li>\n
  3. Should I ultimately pursue a wider scope for this role?\u00a0 Should this include\u00a0leading\u00a0medication quality\u00a0and safety initiatives for the health plan\u00a0and\u00a0population health?\u00a0 Retail pharmacies?\u00a0 Seizing opportunities to increase collaboration with local school of medicine\u00a0and local pharmacy schools?<\/li>\n
  4. What other significant points have I not yet considered?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
