“…However, it contains only a few questions about the functionality of the systems and one question pertaining to user satisfaction. 37 A more sophisticated study to investigate the usability of CCIS was performed on the ICU directors of 19 ICUs in the United States using a specialized tool that includes 21 items about the usability of CCIS. 38,39 Based on these items, the study showed significant differences in usability between the systems implemented in the different ICUs as well as significant differences in the usability subdomains “effectiveness” and “ease-of-use.” 39 However, the authors were unable to explore the underlying characteristics constituting specific system function usability due to instrumental limitations.…”

“…This is the first evaluation of EP using a clinical information system in paediatric critical care in the UK [5]. This evaluation demonstrated that introduction of this system in a PICU over a 6-month period reduced omission errors and possibly prescribing errors.…”

“…In the UK, a single report on resource use identified that most paediatric intensive care units (PICU) used hospital-wide systems with a mixture of commercial and local clinical databases 10. The British National Formulary is widely used in the UK and recommended by the General Medical Council (GMC) to support good prescribing practice 11 12.…”

Prescribing support for paediatrics is diverse and includes both standard texts and electronic tools. Evidence concerning who should be supported and by what method is limited. This review aims to collate the current information available on prescribing support in paediatrics. Many tools designed to support prescribers are technology based. For example, electronic prescribing and smart phone applications. There is a focus on prescriber education both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. In the UK, the majority of inpatient prescribing is done by junior medical staff. It is important to ensure they are competent on qualification and supported in this role. A UK national prescribing assessment is being trialled to test for competence on graduation and there are also tools available to test paediatric prescribing after qualification. No information is available on the tools and resources UK prescribers currently use to support their decision making. One US study reported a decrease in the availability of paediatric prescribing information in a popular reference text. There is limited evidence to show that decision-support tools improve patient outcomes, however, there is growing confirmation that electronic prescribing reduces medication errors. There have been reports of new error types, such as selection errors, occurring with the use of electronic prescribing. Another concern with computerised decision-support systems is deciding what alerts should be presented to the prescriber and when/how often in order to avoid alert fatigue. There is little published concerning paediatric alerts perhaps as a consequence of commercial systems often not including paediatric specific support.
