Safe Medication Use
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada) has a new website!
SafeMedicationUse.ca provides a way for Canadians to report medication incidents and to get information about using medication safely. There is also a newsletter for patients and families on how to prevent medication incidents.
Although most medication incidents don’t cause harm, some have caused serious harm and even death. When incidents are reported and reviewed, problems can often be found and corrected. This is a much better way to prevent errors than punishing the person who made the mistake.
