Medication Error Reduction Plan (MERP)

Hi Everyone!

I am the medication safety pharmacist at a rural hospital in California and we are looking to change/revamp our current Medication Error Reduction Plan (MERP) and medication error summary reports. Would anyone be open to sharing and/or discussing their current MERP and medication error reports templates?

While this is a requirement for California, ISMP has recommended that healthcare organizations use California's MERP as a model and results from a survey reinforce the impact this type of comprehensive strategic framework can have on prevention efforts.
