October 1, 2014
Kruer RM, Jarrell AS, Latif A. Clin Pharmacol. 2014;6:117-26.
In light of Institute of Medicine recommendations to redesign drug packaging and labeling to decrease medication errors, this review highlights challenges to medication safety in the intensive care unit associated with drug formulations and various routes of administration. The authors recommend a multimodal approach that combines system-level interventions, such as computerized provider order entry, simulation training, barcode medication administration, and incident reporting, to prevent adverse drug events.
