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.
