Analysis of Intervention Employability in Pharmacy-Related Medication Safety Reports at a Tertiary Medical Center.

The Institute for Safe Medication Practice (ISMP) suggests that patient safety reports be addressed with systematic, fail-safe, actions to prevent error recurrence. ISMP's hierarchy of effectiveness of risk reduction strategies places education-related interventions as the least effective and fail-safes at the top. UNM Hospitals creates a positive environment for safety reporting, but often we are limited to education interventions due to resource and technology constraints.
