From National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations news release, published Oct. 6: The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) have announced the launch of the first confidential reporting mechanism of its kind to collect anonymous reports from pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and student pharmacists about their positive and negative experiences in the pharmacy workplace.
The Pharmacy Workplace and Well-being Reporting (PWWR) portal was developed in response to the desire by pharmacy personnel across many practice settings for a venue to address workplace concerns and suggest improvements, without fear of retribution. The reports will be collected and analyzed by the Alliance for Patient Medication Safety, a federally recognized Patient Safety Organization, to help tell a collective, powerful story to spark change and improvement in pharmacy personnel well-being, and patient safety. The information collected is protected by the confidentiality and privilege provisions of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005. Submissions to the PWRR cannot be disclosed or subpoenaed, and are not subject to discovery in a legal proceeding.
