Abstract

Paediatric drug prescription is complex, especially in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), where errors may be particularly harmful due to frequent use of high-risk medications.The widespread use of electronic prescriptions is a national goal in Switzerland to improve the quality of prescriptions and reduce medication errors.With this background, this study assessed the quality of drug prescriptions before and after implementation of electronic prescriptions on the PICU of a tertiary Paediatric University Hospital.
