EVALUATE-ERR^®

Using the EVALUATE-ERR^® Service, Med-E.R.R.S. can provide an in-depth analysis of error reports using data from the client as well as the USP-ISMP MERP databases. The analysis is performed using the Ten Key Elements of the medication use process that were developed by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP). The Ten Key Elements is a conceptual model that may be used to describe the components of the medication use process that most often are involved in medication errors.  Due to the fact that medication errors are multi-factorial in nature, a review of each of the elements is necessary to assure that all of the components of the medication use process are considered.  Failures in one or more of these elements may result in the occurrence of a medication error.
