ISMP has published a list of the top 10 medication hazards and errors covered in the acute care newsletter in 2019. These safety issues have caused ongoing, persistent problems, but all can be avoided or minimized with system and practice changes that are attainable for all healthcare providers. We hope that you incorporate recommendations to prevent the top 10 into your organization-wide, strategic medication safety improvement plan for 2020!
