Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
French term or phrase: ES
This is a reporting form for a medication error. At the top of the page there is a table with various fields to fill in, including:

Case number:
Place of work:
Error Type:

Then there is a heading entitled 'lieu erreur', under which there is just the acronym ES. Does anyone know what this stands for?

Many thanks

Explanation:
ES is sometimes établissement de santé, which would fit with "lieu" e.g. http://www.has-sante.fr/portail/upload/docs/application/pdf/... and https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...
