National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention

The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCC MERP) is an organization that works to improve the safety of medication use. It gathers and shares information about medication errors—mistakes made during prescribing, dispensing, or administering drugs—to prevent future incidents. By analyzing these errors, NCC MERP helps healthcare professionals understand where mistakes happen and how to reduce them, ultimately enhancing patient safety and care quality.
