TSHP survey: Medication histories in TX hospitals

TSHP is advancing legislation to require pharmacy-led medication histories for high-risk patients in Texas hospitals (>100 beds). To make the strongest case, grounded in real-world outcomes, we need your experience from the front lines.

Can you spare 5–7 minutes to complete this brief survey by Friday, September 19?

Complete the survey 

Who should respond: Pharmacy managers, technicians, and pharmacists who lead programs or conduct medication histories in inpatient Texas health-systems. If that’s not you, please forward to the best contact on your team.

What we’re collecting:

• Whether your site runs a pharmacy-led med-history program and how it’s structured
• Volume/coverage, staffing model, and workflows
• Short anecdotes of “good catches” that prevented harm (1-3 sentences)

To jog ideas, examples of “good catches” include:

• Look-alike / sound-alike or dose-form errors caught before order entry
• Duplicate therapy (e.g., two anticoagulants) avoided
• Concentrations corrected (e.g., U-500 vs U-100 insulin)
• Allergy/ADR mismatches corrected prior to first dose

Privacy: The survey is anonymous. We ask for your institution only to avoid duplicate program descriptions; all program details and anecdotes will be de-identified in reporting.
