Objectives: To compare the performance of current systems in place for preparation and administration of pediatric medications in community emergency departments to the color-coded medication safety (CCMS) system among nurses.
Methods: Community ED nurses participated in simulated pediatric emergency scenarios using traditional dosing references then the CCMS system. We measured preintervention/postintervention: (1) time to task completion from physician order to medication administration; (2) accuracy of conversion to milliliters, dilution, and time for medication administration; and (3) recognition of 10-fold physician errors.
