From The Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada), an independent national nonprofit agency established for the collection and analysis of medication error reports and the development of recommendations for the enhancement of patient safety, this bulletin shares information related to medication safety in long-term care.
In response to widespread interest in improving systems and processes to enhance medication safety, ISMP Canada has developed a series of Medication Safety Self-Assessment® (MSSA) programs for a variety of settings. The MSSA for Long Term Care is a comprehensive survey directed toward multidisciplinary teams in long-term care settings such as nursing homes and homes for the elderly.
This bulletin provides an excellent summary of this program.
