Plymouth Meeting, PA: Institute for Safe Medication Practices; 2024.

This updated report outlines 22 consensus-based best practices to ensure safe medication administration, such as diluted solutions of vincristine in minibags and standardized metrics for patient weight. The set of recommended practices has been reviewed and updated every two years since it was first developed in 2014 to include actions related to eliminating the prescribing of fentanyl patches for acute pain and use of information about medication safety risks from other organizations to motivate improvement efforts. The 2024-2025 edition includes new practices that are associated with tranexamic acid wrong-route errors, transitions of care, and vaccines.
