The ISMP is a nonprofit organization devoted to medication error prevention and safe medication use. It provides impartial, timely, and accurate medication safety information. ISMP's initiatives are built on non‐punitive approaches and system‐based solutions. It focuses on knowledge, analysis, education, cooperation, and communication. ISMP reviews all medication error reports submitted by health care facilities and health care professionals. In addition, it works directly and confidentially with the pharmaceutical industry to prevent errors that stem from confusing or misleading naming, labeling, packaging, and device design (Institute for Safe Medication Practices, 2018).

ISMP publishes monthly newsletters to educate the health care community about safe medication practices (Figures 4.4 and 4.5). They suggest that nursing students have a key role to play in a culture of safety. ISMP analyzed nursing student‐associated medication incidents and created the following practice tips to enhance the culture of safety: (a) students bring a new perspective to the medication‐use system and should be encouraged to question, identify, and report errors or gaps; (b) be sure that the preceptor's workload accounts for the level of supervision each student needs to optimize her of his learning in a safe environment; and (c) review organizational challenges impacting students to identify opportunities to improve the culture of safety (Institute for Safe Medication Practices, September 2018).
