ISMP Survey on the Common Use of Medication-related Metrics.

Horsham, PA: Institute for Safe Medication Practices.

There is a noted lack of agreement on measures to study and track safety hazards and the effectiveness of improvement strategies. This survey seeks input from the field to inform the development of a list of medication-related measures to communicate concerns related to drug class, technology use, and medication administration practices as a way to provide data to senior management in an easily accessible format.
