PharmaTAP

PharmaTAP was established in August 2007 as part of an award from the Lilly Endowment to help Indiana improve the safety, quality and efficiency of healthcare services involving medications. The program focuses in three areas:

• Operational efficiency and effectiveness of medication use throughout the healthcare value chain to reduce wait time, delays in care, and resource waste.
• Quality and safety of healthcare delivery to reduce potential for medication-related harm and improve reliability of processes used to support care.
• Technology adoption that aligns new technology application with existing processes to minimize potential for new process failures.
