Medication error rates

I was tasked to reach out to this group to see if there is any type of benchmarking for medication errors within healthcare.
I realize our goal is to prevent/reduce the severity however I would love for the number to be zero!
My guess is that it will vary by organization and human factors.
Any insight is always helpful.
Thank you
