Interventions for reducing medication errors in children in hospital

Prescribing Patterns in Pediatric General Wards and Their Association with Prescribing Errors: A Retrospective Observational Study

“…Maaskant et al. [ 43 ] found newborn and infants to be at the highest risk of all age groups, which contradicts our finding. As pediatric patients are a heterogeneous population, it would be useful if future research would focus on differences in prescribing errors in different age groups.…”

Use of Computerized Physician Order Entry with Clinical Decision Support to Prevent Dose Errors in Pediatric Medication Orders: A Systematic Review

“…However, there is a limited number of publications available on the topic [ 7 , 25 ], and therefore, the inclusion was not based on the level of evidence quality. Similar findings have been made in previous systematic reviews as well as in a Cochrane review by Maaskant et al [ 34 ] reviewing different interventions to reduce medication errors in pediatrics [ 25 , 35 , 36 ]. Maaskant et al [ 34 ] stated that when the studies concern medication safety changes, e.g., in organizational contexts, experimental designs (such as randomized controlled trials), may not be even fully applicable.…”

Nurses' and Midwives' Perceptions of Medication Errors in Children: A Scoping Review

“…Aligning with the current study, a Cochrane review (Maaskant et al. 2015) concluded that multifaceted pediatric‐focused interventions provide the greatest benefit. The review found that clinical pharmacist involvement, barcode medication administration, computerized physician order entry, and structured prescribing forms each significantly reduced specific types of error (Maaskant et al.…”
