Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advancing medication safety through contemporary, systems-oriented approaches in diverse healthcare settings. Its scope encompasses the entire medication use process, spanning multidisciplinary teams, digital health tools, patient engagement, and high-risk medication management. The purpose is to consolidate evidence and present innovative, practical strategies that healthcare teams can implement to mitigate medication-related risks and build more resilient, patient-centered care systems.
By synthesizing insights across these interconnected domains, the issue demonstrates how technological integration, team-based care, and patient-centered initiatives collectively contribute to building more resilient and safer medication use systems for the future.
