FIP Development Goal 3 Practice Element 

Globally, we will have: 

Transparent, contemporary and innovative processes for the quality assessment, monitoring and improvement of services in practice.

Mechanisms 

• Define standards for practice by pharmacists and pharmacy support workforce in community, hospital and other direct patient care roles.
• Develop standards-based guidance, practice support tools and self-assessment tools for the implementation and delivery of professional services that are aligned with patient, community and health system
  needs.
• Ensure systems are in place for upholding ethical practice across all areas of pharmaceutical practice.
• Establish mechanisms and indicators for quality improvement including collaborative working, patient safety and professional standards.
• Ensure the quality and effectiveness of pharmaceutical services by assuring the education, training, performance and professional development standards that develop a workforce fit to deliver those services.
• Establish mechanisms for (‘real world’) pragmatic and useful evidence-based service implementation and service evaluation and monitoring such as audit systems, patient feedback, health outcomes research and
  cost effectiveness measures.
