Philip J. Schneider, M.S., FASHP, clinical professor and director of the Latiolais Leadership Program at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, has been named the recipient of ASHP’s 2008 Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award.

Schneider’s current teaching and research are focused on improving the medication use process and improving medication use safety. He developed a nationally recognized program for the reporting and analysis of adverse drug events that led to improvements in the medication use process at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The severity scale developed as part of this program is widely used in the health care industry, including serving as the basis for the system used by the United States Pharmacopeia.
