Some of the ISMP contributions to medication safety that have been made possible by generous donors and volunteers include:

• Launching a continuous, voluntary, confidential medication error reporting system to learn about errors happening across the nation, understand their causes, and share "lessons learned" with the healthcare community;
• Procuring hundreds of changes in error-prone medication names, labels, and packages that have reduced the risk of potentially serious mistakes;
• Developing free self-assessment tools for healthcare facilities that have helped them analyze the effectiveness of their medication safety programs;
• Publishing four medication safety newsletters for medical professionals and consumers that reach more than a million readers; and
• Providing assistance in the development of federal and state legislation and regulations related to patient safety.
