- Abstract
The complexity and vulnerability of the pediatric population make them unique to risk management. Risk analysis is particularly demanding here and requires comprehensive identification of hazardous situations. Few data are published on methods to prevent medication errors in pediatric inpatients, reducing the possibility for healthcare institutions to prioritize the actions to take. This paper summarizes the proactive risk analysis methods described in the literature, the failures identified, and the corrective actions applied to reduce the risks in pediatrics., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS.
