A review of medication errors and the second victim in pediatric pharmacy.
Even with technology designed to prevent them, medication errors continue to occur, often causing staff involved to experience "second victim" syndrome. This article, with a focus on pediatric pharmacists, presents four programs designed to support second victims: MU Health’s forYOU, Johns Hopkins’ RISE, Nationwide Children’s YOU Matter, and Children’s Minnesota’s (Children’s MN’s) P2P (peer-to-peer) program. The authors also present options for support that individuals can access if their institution does not have a formal second victim program.
