Thought leadership that drives real-world results.
The Health Systems Pharmacy Executive Alliance is a collaboration of well-known leaders who are dedicated to advancing hospital pharmacy's contributions
to patient safety, clinical quality, and financial performance through established pharmacy best practices and increased effectiveness and efficiencies.
The Executive Alliance's vision is the advancement of the High Performance
PharmacySM—a concept that enhances and elevates the profession of health
system pharmacy, as well as its practice and standing, within health care today
and in the future.
Active since 1998, the Executive Alliance maintains a strong and prestigious
membership that has included ASHP past presidents and other pharmacy
organization officers. McKesson is proud to sponsor this energetic group of healthcare education leaders and health system pharmacy experts. The
Executive Alliance, as a body, operates independently from McKesson and takes
responsibility for the public positions and publications it issues.
The Executive Alliance members include McKesson and non-McKesson
customers and represent all parts of the health system continuum: from large,
internationally known academic centers to smaller, community-based hospitals.
All Executive Alliance members meet stringent criteria, including having
published clinical articles relating to health system pharmacy best practices and held
present or past leadership positions within health system pharmacy professional
organizations. Members are highly respected among their peers.
In addition to the High Performance Pharmacy project, the Executive Alliance
has created and published several healthcare education and health system pharmacy-related articles and resource guides, including:
- "Recommended Practices in Support of 2004 JCAHO Medication
Management Standards" (distributed at the December 2003 ASHP
Mid-Year
Clinical Meeting)
- "Leadership Skills for a High Performance Pharmacy"
(AJHP 2004;
61:2562—74).
