Unlike with adult dosing, most pediatric medications require weight-based dosing, which increases the need for dosing precision. A common problem is that there are a variety of options for prescribing and dispensing medication(s) for children which raise practice behaviors of providers regarding medication dosing to the forefront of concerns. The adverse effects of some of these prescribed medication classes in pediatrics heighten the level of concern. The two most common prescribed medications in the pediatric population include opioid derivatives and antibiotics. Inaccurate prescribing of both categories of medications can cause significant adverse outcomes including death in children. The purpose of this pre-intervention and post-intervention research study was to evaluate prescriber adherence and satisfaction with a clinical decision support tool which rounded 16 commonly prescribed medications to pre-determined standardized values in order to better facilitate prescribing and dispensing efforts by physicians and pharmacists. 000007639 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007639 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000007639 650__ $$aAnti-Bacterial Agents$$014846 000007639 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000007639 6531_ $$aopioid 000007639 6531_ $$achild analgesics 000007639 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007639 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000007639 7001_ $$aHickman, Erin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007639 8564_ $$93eccba2f-417a-4ab8-8138-77d0b65af015$$s1890070$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7639/files/Hickman.Erin.2017.pdf 000007639 905__ $$a/rest/prod/89/10/jv/15/8910jv15j 000007639 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7639$$pstudent-work 000007639 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
