Hi All
We are in the process of reviewing and updating our pediatric context settings for medication prescribing. We recently had an error in dosing of tablets for an outpatient pediatric patient. When reviewing the error we noticed that there are no peds settings (wt based dosing units) on the medication and many of our medications that are NOT liquids.
Does your institution have weight based dosing buttons on non liquid (tablets/capsule) medications? If so, how do you handle appropriate dose rounding and alert providers that the ordered dose cannot be administered with that product formulation?
We are an Epic institution.
Thanks!
