Qualitative exploration of practices to prevent #medication errors in #neonatalintensivecare units: a focus group study



Abstract
BACKGROUND:
#Medicationerrors (MEs) in #neonates are frequent and associated with increased potential for harm compared with #adults. The effect of learning from reported MEs is potentially lacking due to underreporting, lack of feedback and missing actions to improve #medicationsafety. A new approach involving positive recognition of current and future strategies may facilitate greater exploration of how to improve medication safety in #neonates. We aimed to explore current and potential future practices to prevent MEs in #neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
