ISMP Goals for Medication Errors

Hello,
Curious if anyone is aware of goals for medication errors. I was told there is an ISMP goal <20% Category C errors (error occurred that reached the patient but did not cause patient harm) of overall category errors. Can anyone attest to this, or add an further information?
Thank you,
