简要总结
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical efficiency of a medication dosing software in simulated pediatric emergency care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Will the time to patient be significantly reduced with the medication dosage software when compared to standard clinical practice?
- Will the time to calculate dosage of medications be significantly reduced with the medication dosage software when compared to standard clinical practice?
- How will users perceive clinical efficiency, ease of use, confidence level of using the medication dosage software when compared to standard clinical practice?
- How will accuracy of medication dose and volume calculations as well as final volume ready for administration using the medication dosage software compared to standard clinical practice?
- Will the time spent calculating medication doses by the second healthcare professional on pediatric non-acute and acute care cases be significantly reduced with the medication dosage software when compared to standard clinical practice?
Participants will be presented pediatric care scenarios and asked to calculate and prepare intravenous medications under two interventions: the medication dosage software and standard clinical practice (Lexicomp and manual calculator).
