Implementing strategies to prevent home medication administration errors in children with medical complexity.
The American Academy of Pediatrics' Policy Statement, "Preventing Home Medication Administration Errors", called for improving medication safety at home for children with medical complexity. This article describes a toolkit for pediatricians to support implementation focusing on four interventions: establishing practice-based error reporting systems, standardizing medication reconciliation, improving communication, and integrating resources for patients and families. Of particular importance is the use of health literacy-informed, culturally sensitive resources.
