US ISMP and ECRI launch joint Patient Safety Organization The US Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), which determines causes of medication errors and measures to prevent them, and ECRI, an evidence-based practice centre which conducts medical device evaluations, have launched a joint Patient Safety Organization (PSO) to improve the safety of medication, medical devices and healthcare practices in all US settings. "Our new PSO is a single source for safety that’s unrivaled in the market place . . . Together, ECRI and ISMP bring upto-date information and real-time guidance to assure healthcare leaders that they’re making the best decisions to keep patients, long-term care residents, and staff safe," said Dr Marcus Schabacker, president and CEO of ECRI, "Our joint PSO brings together global experts in medication safety, device errors, patient safety, risk, and quality, to support healthcare providers in real-time when they need it the most," he said. The PSO will enable providers and healthcare organisations to "report quality and patient safety information confidentially and without fear of legal discovery. Using this process, PSOs can help healthcare professionals learn from quality and patient safety concerns to prevent similar problems from happening in the future," noted the ISMP.
