Patient Safety: is the prevention of harm to patients. Emphasis is often placed on the system of care delivery that prevents errors, learns from the errors that occur and is built on a culture of safety that involves health care professionals, organizations and patients. Patient safety practices have been defined as those that reduce the risk of adverse events related to exposure to medical care across a range of diagnoses or conditions.
The MOM program had a goal of balancing costs to spread the compounding process throughout the day. This opened the doors to optimizing generator supply based on demand patterns.
