Background: Healthcare professionals need to learn jointly to foster role understanding in medication pathways to ensure medication safety.
Objectives: This research aims to validate a module on medication safety using Delphi techniques involving the collaboration of medication safety experts.
Methods: The experts reviewed the structure and content of the medication safety module using the Delphi technique process. Structural and content validity was obtained when more than 79% of the expert panels rated the statements more than 3. Agreements were reported as content validity index (CVI).
Results: The expert panels consisted of four physicians, three pharmacists, and three nurses. Although CVIs for prescribing, administration, and monitoring were 86%, the CVI for the role and responsibility of professionals in dispensing was rated 71%, indicating the need for a revision.
