Ways to reduce drug dose calculation errors in children.
The study, first published in 2007, tried to identify interventions introduced to reduce dose calculation errors in newborn infant and child patients and then to assess their impact on patient care. To do this, the researchers studied existing research, surveyed health care professionals, observed selected interventions and then attempted to do an economic analysis of the most promising interventions.
