Study Summary

This trial will study whether an automated electronic health record (EHR)-based intervention that uses e-prescriptions can improve pharmacy dispensing practices and reduce parent dosing errors. The study will be conducted with English- and Spanish-speaking parents of children who are prescribed oral liquid medications in the pediatric emergency room, outpatient general pediatric clinic, and pediatric subspecialty clinics of 2 New York City hospital systems.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English or Spanish-speaking parents or guardians over 18 years old, who are the primary caregivers of children aged ≤8 years prescribed liquid medications in specific New York City hospitals. Participants must have a smartphone and be willing to participate. Pharmacists involved must dispense medication to study participants.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests an EHR-based intervention aimed at helping pharmacists stick to mL-only dosing instructions and provide appropriate dosing tools, with the goal of reducing parental dosing errors with children's liquid medicines.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study focuses on improving dispensing practices rather than testing new medications, it does not directly involve medical side effects. However, there may be indirect effects related to changes in how medicine doses are managed.
