Why is engagement with the AIMS Program important?

Engagement with the AIMS Program is important because it enhances patient safety and promotes a culture of safety and continuous quality improvement in community pharmacies. Medication errors are preventable, and active participation in the program helps pharmacies identify system gaps and implement targeted improvements to prevent recurrences.

Aggregate data recorded on the platform helps identify common medication errors, contributing factors, and high-risk medications. The more pharmacy professionals engage with the program, the better the data that can be shared back to pharmacies – leading to greater opportunities to improve patient safety and reduce risk of harm.
