About WAMSG

WAMSG aims to minimise patient harm due to drug errors. Medication safety has been identified as a national priority area for health care improvement and WAMSG has been established to coordinate communication and activities in WA public hospitals and wider community. With many projects and activities currently occurring, the initial focus of WAMSG will be on public hospitals, although medication safety is more broadly viewed in the context of the continuum of care between hospitals and the community. The modus operandi of WAMSG is to involve stakeholders and local experts to develop standards that may be uniformly applied throughout the WA health system. Working groups have so far been established to review potassium chloride, anticoagulants, cytotoxics, medication history, antibiotics and consumer representation in medication safety.
