ISMP GUIDELINES

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) is known and respected worldwide as the premier resource for impartial, timely, and accurate medication safety information. ISMP is unique in its extensive knowledge and understanding of the system-based causes of medication errors, based largely on interdisciplinary review of thousands of reports to its national Medication Error Reporting Program (MERP) as well as hundreds of visits to healthcare organizations nationwide.

Part of ISMP's core mission is to use this knowledge to disseminate practical, proven error prevention strategies to the entire healthcare community. Following are some of the formal guidance documents that ISMP has issued with recommendations on improving safe medication use in specific practice areas.

Please note that these guidelines may need to be adapted to take into account ongoing technological advances as well as emerging medication safety information.
