Award

Edmonds Family Medicine was awarded the William O. Robertson Patient Safety Award for Achievement recently at the annual meeting of the Washington State Medical Association for progress toward making patients’ medication lists as accurate as possible. Edmonds Family Medicine provides each patient with a written list of their medications and asks the patient to confirm that it is complete, a process found to be more accurate than verbal confirmation. Also, patients scheduled for physicals are encouraged to bring in all their pill bottles so staff can review exactly what patients have. The award was received by Dr. Susanne Quistgaard of Edmonds Family Medicine.
