ISMP’s Top 10 Medication Hazards and Errors The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) has identified the Top 10 Medication Hazards and Errors as reported to them in 2019.

Instead, all the hazards and errors on the list have been persistent, often for years, and can be avoided or minimized with system and practice changes.
