High-Alert Medication Safety Self-Assessment

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) has introduced a new tool to help hospitals, long-term care facilities and certain outpatient facilities evaluate their best practices related to high-alert medications, identify opportunities for improvement and track their experiences over time.

The ISMP Medication Safety Self-Assessment® for High-Alert Medications focuses on general high-alert medications and 11 specific medication categories. Participants who submit assessment findings to ISMP anonymously will be able to obtain their weighted scores so they can compare themselves to demographically similar organizations.
