COMPASS Newsletters

To support COMPASS and patient safety, two newsletters are being provided to the pharmacy staff.

• The [directions] newsletter is produced by the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy Professionals and is intended to provide pharmacy staff with information specific to the COMPASS program and medication and patient safety.
• The SMART newsletter is produced by ISMP Canada, based on anonymous medication incidents reported to the CPhIR program, is designed to help initiate discussion and encourage collaboration in continuous quality improvement.

[directions] Newsletter

The [directions] newsletter was created to provide participating COMPASS pharmacies with statistics, helpful hints, shared learning opportunities and other safety-related information. The [directions] newsletter is sent to all practising members, students and interns to provide needed information on the COMPASS program.
