PEDeDose: pay annual fees and save costs at the same time

09/13/2019

As announced, we are introducing annual fees for the use of PEDeDose from 1 October 2019. For only CHF 275 (excl. VAT) per year, specialists will benefit from the extensive functions. With PEDeDose, health institutions can also make their daily work more efficient by enabling their specialists to calculate individual drug doses more efficiently and safely. Here you can calculate with just a few details how much resources you can save thanks to PEDeDose.

Cooperation with HCI Solutions

07/24/2019

To make PEDeDose more convenient to use, we work closely with HCI Solutions. Now our tool PEDeDose can be used directly from two HCI Solutions products, "Documedis Medication Editor" and compendium.ch.

HCI Solutions makes the eMediplan available to healthcare providers via the web application "Documedis Medication Editor". When the child data and the medication are entered there, the data can be forwarded to PEDeDose with a single click, where the patient-specific dosage is automatically calculated. 

Compendium.ch is the drug platform of HCI Solutions. One click on the selected drug takes the user from compendium.ch directly to the corresponding product on PEDeDose. The same also works the other way round.

Most frequent cause of drug-related problems: inappropriate dosing

05/03/2019

According to a recently published study, inappropriate dosing in neonates is the most frequent cause of drug-related problems. Even though the neonatal intensive care unit had dosing guidelines for all drugs. This was also the case in our study on prescribing errors at the University Children's Hospital Zurich a few years ago. In the meantime, however, the University Children's Hospital Zurich is relying on a sophisticated "clinical decision support tool" to reduce medication errors.

 

 

 

Dosing errors in children could be avoided with "clinical decision support"

04/16/2019

Standalone databases are not enough to protect children from dosing errors - pediatricians need a "clinical decision support".

A remarkable study by Gildon BL et al. shows that clinical information systems in children's clinics do not sufficiently meet the requirements of electronic prescribing - and thus errors that could have been avoided are not avoided.

Accordingly, our youngest patients continue to suffer unnecessarily from partially serious consequences of medication errors.

The authors note the following: The use of indication specific dosing and the inclusion of weight based dosing recommendations and calculations would eliminate the majority of dosing errors.
