Here's what's new!
       
  ISMP and Doctor's Digest launch new iPhone app. In cooperation with the publication Doctor’s Digest, ISMP has launched Practice Rx, a safety alert system and error reporting tool for the iPhone. If you have an iPhone you can download the free application now using iTunes or your iPhone. Go here. Users can report medication errors to ISMP via e-mail on their phone or may use the phone to dial our 800 number or send a voice mail created by the application. ISMP is posting safety alerts and error prevention tips as well as patient safety news and information about our organization. A special area has also been devoted to preventing errors with high alert medications. Be sure to download the application today.
