Institute for Safe Medication Practices joins ECRI Institute The US Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and the ECRI Institute have announced that they have formed an agreement to work together to enhance patient safety with regard to medicines, medical devices and healthcare practices. ISMP will become a subsidiary of the ECRI Institute on 2 January 2020, and together the two nonprofit organisations will create one of the largest patient safety entities in the world. Approximately 80% of US hospitals rely on data and recommendations from the ECRI Institute to protect patients from unsafe practices and ineffective products, while the ISMP’s efforts to improve safety in patients have resulted in changes to clinical practice and public policy, including improvements in drug labelling, packaging, preparation and administration. "This agreement will strengthen our critical contributions to medication safety," said ISMP President Michael Cohen, "It allows both organizations to retain their core missions while immediately extending our ability to share lifesaving information and further a vision where safe, high-quality healthcare is more readily available". "For both organizations, this agreement furthers the mission, deepens expertise, and broadens relationships. It’s a good move for both of us and for all of the organizations we serve, and ultimately for the patients worldwide," commented ECRI Institute President and CEO Marcus Schabacker.
