Among others, ISMP maintains and disseminates a list of "do not crush" medications,[3] as well as clinical best practices.[4] The ISMP's Medication Safety Self-Assessment tool has been used in surveys of medication safety in hospitals in the United States and elsewhere.[5][6][7][8]
The ISMP frequently investigates and reports on medication errors that have occurred in practice. These investigations are often published in the peer-reviewed journal Hospital Pharmacy.[9][10][11]
