The Pediatric Trigger Toolkit for Measuring Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) provides a powerful yet simple method to detect medication-related harm in pediatric inpatients. The toolkit can help hospitals implement medication system changes to ensure fewer drug-related injuries to patients.
The toolkit includes:
