10 Medication Administration Errors in Children (cont d) Medication administration errors are frequent ~50 to 60% caregivers measure an incorrect dose of liquid medicine or report giving a dose outside of the recommended range (Simon 1997; Li 2000; Frush 2004; McMahon 1997) ~50% pediatric caregivers do not adhere to the prescribed medication regimen (Winnick 2005)
11 Medication Administration Errors in Children (cont d) Children are at risk Errors in children 2.4x more likely to result in harm (Santell 2005) Potential error types Preparation Storage Dosing Adherence
12 Risk Factors for Medication Administration Errors Medication specific issues Health provider related issues Caregiver related issues
13 Risk Factors for Medication Administration Errors (cont d) Medication specific issues Liquid medications difficult to administer Variation in accuracy of dosing instruments Different concentrations Different units of measurement ml / tsp / tbsp
14 Risk Factors for Medication Administration Errors (cont d) Health provider related issues Level of training / experience Language Time pressure Caregiver related issues Limited English proficiency Low literacy / health literacy Cost
15 Potential Strategies to Decrease Medication Administration Errors Plain language Illustrations / pictograms Improved medication knowledge (Mansoor & Dowse 2003) Improved adherence (Dowse & Ehlers 2001) Teachback Oral dosing syringes (McMahon 1997; Madlon-Kay 2000)

26 Study Objective To assess whether a plain language, pictogrambased intervention can improve medication knowledge decrease liquid medication dosing errors improve adherence in low SES caregivers of young children.
27 Study Design Randomized controlled trial Urban public hospital pediatric ED Eligibility criteria Child >30 days old and <8 years old Prescribed a liquid medication Caregiver Responsible for administering medication to child English/Spanish language

33 Assessments of Outcomes: Observed Dosing Accuracy Caregivers asked to bring in any materials used for dosing at home Standardized medication bottle used Asked to measure dose as they had at home with instrument from home or choosing from set Research staff assessed measured dose considered accurate if within 20% of prescribed Interrater reliability high kappa>0.9, p<0.001
34 Statistical Analysis prn and daily dose medications analyzed separately Statistical tests Chi square Fisher s exact test

49 Results: Other findings Improvements also noted in Knowledge of preparation Frequency (daily dose medications only) Knowledge of medication name, indication, storage Good accuracy for both groups (>90%) No significant differences between groups
50 Discussion HELPix intervention associated with large differences in knowledge, accuracy and adherence Clinical impact not ascertained Difficult to relate findings to potential for serious ADE Criteria for dosing accuracy and adherence not standardized across studies Varying cut points associated with similar results
51 Limitations Difficult to determine which component was responsible for the impact Counseling using pictogram based instruction sheets Provision of standardized dosing instrument Demonstration of dose and teachback utilizing instrument and sheets
52 Limitations (cont d) Masking not possible Same researcher frequently performed both randomization and assessments Group status clear during assessment of accuracy as caregivers in intervention group had access to pictograms Interview measures highly structured and not likely to be subjective
53 Next steps Further analysis to determine whether family characteristics are related to intervention benefit - caregiver education - SES - health literacy - primary language
54 Next steps (cont d) Further development of computer program Expansion to include tablets/pills Inclusion of more languages HELPix Dissemination Pediatric outpatient clinic at Bellevue Hospital Center Effectiveness study
