As the year comes to a close, pharmacy leaders have a unique opportunity to set the tone for a safer, stronger 2026.
Take a moment with your team to:
▪ Reflect on the wins
▪ Identify risk patterns
▪ Set clear safety goals for the year ahead
Building a consistent safety culture is an intentional choice- one that makes a lasting impact on patients, staff, and the community you serve.

One of the most effective ways to reduce medication errors is also one of the simplest: a short verification pause at intake.
A quick moment to confirm dose changes, patient info, or clarifications can prevent multiple downstream issues.
Small steps create big safety wins.

High-alert doesn’t have to mean high pressure.

Take the extra moment to slow down, double-check, and document verification actions and near-misses/corrections.
