"Help Prevent Harmful Medication Incidents." This website does not provide medical advice. If you require medical advice, contact your healthcare provider or, if you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911. “Health professionals and consumers can play active roles in preventing mistakes in health care. SafeMedicationUse.ca provides a way for consumers to report medication incidents and to get information about using medicines safely.
Up until now, most medication incident reports have been provided by healthcare workers. CMIRPS needs information that consumers can provide, but there hasn't been a convenient location where consumers can report medication incidents.
