Report Errors

USP-ISMP Reporting Program

The USP-ISMP Medication Errors Reporting Program (MERP) operated by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) in cooperation with the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) is a confidential national voluntary reporting program that provides expert analysis of the system causes of medication errors and disseminates recommendations for prevention. Regulatory agencies and manufacturers are notified of needed changes in products when safety is of concern.
