An ISMP website that alerts consumers to drug safety issues
ConsumerMedSafety.org is the first and only website exclusively designed to bring the message of adverse drug event prevention to consumers (www.ConsumerMedSafety.org). This website provides patients with a trusted Internet source from which to learn about error prevention, report their experiences with errors and side effects, and share their opinions about drug effectiveness.
From their website: “ConsumerMedSafety.org is brought to you by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)—the nation's only nonprofit organization of pharmacists, nurses, and doctors devoted entirely to safe medication practices. Preventing medication errors is no longer just a responsibility for health professionals—consumers like you can also play a vital role."
Please take advantage of a unique system that sends personalized safety alerts to consumers based on the medications they take at home.
