Med-E.R.R.S. (a subsidiary of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices [ISMP US]) works proactively with pharmaceutical companies to develop trademark drug names and package labelling designed to lower the risk of medication errors. The Med-E.R.R.S. staff consists of health care professionals with extensive experience in clinical settings. These clinicians integrate their knowledge and experience with the input of clinicians in the field to systematically analyze potential trademarks, packaging, and technology. Med-E.R.R.S. is interested in hearing from pharmacists and other health care professionals from all practice settings in Canada to help review labels, packaging, and nomenclature in the premarketing phase of pharmaceutical products.
