This article provides an overview on the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), the only independent nonprofit organization in the USA devoted to the prevention of medication errors. ISMP developed the national Medication Errors Reporting Program (MERP) and investigates and analyzes errors in order to formulate recommendations to prevent further occurrences. ISMP works closely with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), drug manufacturers, professional organizations, and others to promote changes in package design, practice standards, and healthcare practitioner and consumer education. By collaborating with ISMP to share and disseminate information, Poison Control centers, emergency departments, and toxicologists can help decrease unintentional and accidental poisonings.
本文概述了安全用药实践研究所（ISMP），它是美国唯一致力于预防用药错误的独立非营利组织。ISMP制定了全国用药错误报告计划（MERP），并对错误进行调查和分析，以便提出建议以防止再次发生。ISMP与美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）、药品制造商、专业组织及其他机构密切合作，以推动包装设计、实践标准以及医疗从业者和消费者教育方面的变革。通过与ISMP合作共享和传播信息，中毒控制中心、急诊科和毒理学家可以帮助减少无意和意外中毒事件的发生。
