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 Pharmacy
SM—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)
