We want to make a measurable and sustainable contribution to improving drug therapy safety (AMTS) in routine care, so that drugs are prescribed, directed and used safely and correctly in everyday life and the associated medication process is as low-risk as possible.

Based on process and prescription analyses, we develop, implement and evaluate practical and technology-oriented measures to improve medication safety. We take great care to integrate all parties involved in the medication process, both in the outpatient or inpatient care sector or at the interfaces of care. A special focus is the support of the cooperation between health care professions and the strengthening of patient's health competencies.
