University of Utah College of Pharmacy, Salt Lake City, UT, and University of Utah Health Pharmacy Services, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
Purpose: Manual restocking and tracking of noncontrolled medications in anesthesia workstations (AWSs) is complicated and time intensive, provides several opportunities for error, and lacks perpetual inventory transparency regarding expiration and lot number. This pre-post study assessed the impact of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology on restocking of noncontrolled medications in AWSs in relation to workflow, improved patient safety due to reduced restocking errors, and restocking accuracy and efficiency, as well as the estimated costs of on-site medication RFID tagging versus purchase of pretagged products.
Summary: Pre- and postimplementation process steps were mapped.
Factors influencing rates of human papillomavirus vaccination.

South Jordan Health Center, South Jordan, UT.
Purpose: Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) was used to identify ways in which community clinic practices related to suboptimal human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates could be improved.
Method: FMEA is a standardized safety method that helps determine where processes fail, the impact of failures, and needed process changes. In a quality improvement initiative conducted at an academic health center-based community clinic, a multidisciplinary team used FMEA to map HPV vaccination processes and identify areas for improvement of vaccination practices.
