Sammanfattning
Two studies have examined safety regarding drug treatment of pediatric inpatients (including both children in pediatric clinics and in adult clinics) within
the Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg. 20% of pediatric inpatients are treated outside of pediatric clinics. The highest risks are seen during
prescription followed by administration and preparation of drugs (greatest risk: wrong dose). The staff perceives risks related to drug prescription, the IT
system for medication management and the work environment. Improved support systems for drug prescription and administration, coordination of
procedures and development of IT systems adapted to the specific needs associated with drug treatment of children as well as improved working
environment is needed.
