It has been produced by NSW TAG in collaboration with the Clinical Excellence Commission in NSW. The manual will enable hospital managers and clinicians to guide improvements in medication management in all types of hospitals across Australia. It is designed to complement the Medication Safety Self Assessment tools to provide hospitals with a comprehensive approach to monitoring quality use of medicines. For more information and to download the manual click here The Medication Safety Self Assessment® for Australian HospitalsThe Medication Safety Self Assessment® for Australian Hospitals (MSSA) is designed to heighten awareness of the distinguishing characteristics of a safe hospital medication system; and create a baseline of Australian hospital efforts to enhance medication safety. The self assessment is divided into ten key elements that have been shown to significantly influence safe medication use. Each element is defined by one or more core characteristics of a safe medication system. Self assessment items are provided to help you evaluate your success with achieving each core characteristic. The Medication Safety Self Assessment® for Australian Hospitals is subject to copyright in the name of ISMP and has been adapted by NSW TAG with the permission of ISMP for use in the Australian health care environment. It may not be used in whole or in part for any other purpose or by any other entity except for self assessment by Australian hospitals.

Furthermore, some of the characteristics describe functionality or technology which is not readily used in most hospitals but which represent potential safety goals.
