Hospital design has been associated with patient safety incidents. This study compared rates of medication administration errors in the pediatric unit of a new evidence-based design (EBD) hospital with rates at the older facility prior to moving to the EBD hospital. Despite implementing EBD, rates of distractions were lower at the older facility; “interruption by physician” was the only distraction type to improve in the new EBD hospital.
