Will information about medication incidents and near misses reported through the program be made public?
Only aggregate and de-identified data collected through the program will be reported publicly. Data reports from the years 2020 to 2024 are available.
Starting in 2027, data reported by Ontario pharmacies in their incident management platforms will be uploaded to ISMP’s National Incident Data Repository for Community Pharmacies. This data will be used nationally to help identify widespread risks and trends and enable more effective coordinated interventions. It will also support consistency in safety practices, policy development, and shared learning across jurisdictions, ultimately improving patient safety across the country.
