The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has released 17 toolkits to help health care providers and patients prevent medical errors. Developed through the agency's Partnerships in Implementing Patient Safety Program, the toolkits focus on identifying high-risk practices and promoting interventions to prevent errors and enhance communication among caregivers and with patients. Several of the patient toolkits address medication safety.

The toolkits are available at http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/pips/.
