June 5, 2012: Risk Assessment Program for Oncology
Data Submission Deadline Extended to September 30, 2012
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP US), together with ISMP Canada and the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners, has launched the "2012 ISMP International Medication Safety Self Assessment for Oncology".This program will assist and guide oncology practitioners working in hospitals, ambulatory care centres, and office practice settings throughout the world in identifying opportunities to improve their oncology medication-use systems. The self-assessment was developed by an international interdisciplinary panel of experts.
Canadian oncology practitioners are encouraged to participate in an international project to assess the current status of safe medication practices in the oncology setting. The program can be accessed from https://mssa.ismp-canada.org/oncology. More than 600 sites from around the world have registered to date! To maximize the opportunity for participation, the data submission deadline has been extended to September 30, 2012, after which time a comparative analysis of internationally submitted data will be undertaken.
