Influence of user-centered clinical decision support on pediatric blood product ordering errors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children are at increased risk from transfusion-related medical errors. Clinical decision support (CDS) can enhance pediatric providers' decision-making regarding transfusion practices including indications, volume, rate, and special processing instructions. Our objective was to use CDS in a pediatric health system to reduce:blood product-related safety events from ordering errors;special processing ordering errors for patients with T-cell dysfunction, sickle cell disease (SCD), or thalassemia;transfusions administered faster than 5 mL/kg/h.

Materials and methods

In this single-center before and after quality improvement study, we evaluated how user-centered design of pediatric blood product orders influenced pediatric transfusion practices and outcomes. Safety ev
