Hi All
We currently have both an adult and pediatric hospital. Digoxin is considered high alert (both oral and IV) for our pediatric patients but it appears that our practice is out of date. Our digoxin order set is not used and needs updating, but I am curious if digoxin is considered a high alert medication for pediatric patients at your institution and if so what are the strategies that are used to help mitigate potential harm? I am looking for some strategies that other hospitals are using for digoxin in pediatric patients to help improve safety.
Thanks!
Lindsey
