ISMP Guidelines

The ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) Guidelines provide best practices to reduce medication errors in healthcare settings. They focus on safe prescribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring medications to protect patient safety. By standardizing procedures, improving communication among healthcare providers, and highlighting common errors, these guidelines help prevent mistakes such as incorrect dosages or wrong medications, ultimately ensuring patients receive the right treatment safely. They serve as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals to improve medication safety and quality of care.
