| This innovative newsletter --- sent monthly by e-mail --- brings you vital and potentially life-saving information about medication-related errors, adverse drug reactions, as well as recommendations that will help you reduce the risk of medication errors and other adverse drug events in your community practice site. In addition to the newsletter, ISMP sends urgent advisories about serious errors or information that requires immediate attention to its subscribers. Information found in the ISMP Medication Safety Alert! stems from error reports submitted voluntarily by practitioners to the ISMP Medication Errors Reporting Program and the FDA MedWatch program. Our role is to independently review and analyze all reports, perform investigations, seek outside expert review and inform industry and regulatory authorities as necessary, before preparing material for publication and dissemination
