Healthcare Quality & Safety

From the time a medication is prescribed to the moment it reaches the patient, healthcare providers are expected to deliver optimal, personalized healthcare.

The USP Healthcare Quality and Safety (HQS) Center of Excellence serves as a trusted partner and informational resource for nurses, pharmacists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals focusing on quality medicines, medication dispensing, medication safety & labeling, and other areas related to patient care and healthcare settings.

HQS creates healthcare standards and solutions that are practical tools that healthcare practitioners can use to help ensure timely decision making and the quality of patient care.
