Children are vulnerable to medication administration errors at home. This study describes the implementation and sustainment of the Medication Education for Dosing Safety (MEDS) intervention, a program to educate parents and caregivers about safe medication administration at discharge from the emergency department. The risk of administration error was reduced after the intervention and, while the risk increased slightly during the sustainment phase, it remained lower than at baseline.
