OhioHealth R.Ph.s win $50,000 for ADE program

January 24, 2005

Imagine being awarded a cool $50,000. That's what pharmacists at OhioHealth, a not-for-profit healthcare organization, nabbed for designing a program that reduced by 51% the adverse drug event (ADE) rate for the eight hospitals in its network. This was the first Award for Excellence in Medication-Use Safety offered by ASHP's Research & Education Foundation and sponsored by the Cardinal Health Foundation.
