The Canadian Medication Incident Reporting and Prevention System

The Canadian Medication Incident Reporting and Prevention System (CMIRPS) is a collaborative pan-Canadian program of Health Canada, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada), Healthcare Excellence Canada (HEC) and Patients for Patient Safety Canada (PFPSC). The goal of CMIRPS is to reduce and prevent harmful medication incidents (also known as errors) in Canada.

Reporting, sharing and learning about medication incidents (or errors) will help to reduce their reoccurrence and will result in a safer healthcare system. You can report a medication incident/error here.
