| | Lecture Overview: |
|
| | The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a complex workplace with abundant opportunities for medication errors. Such errors impose temporary and lifelong health consequences to an already vulnerable patient population. The pharmacovigilance team coordinates efforts to prevent such errors and their success depends on 1) the team’s influence over NICU governance, 2) the efficiency of the pharmacovigilance process, and 3) the team’s ability to meet implementation challenges. An efficient team that is well integrated into the NICU’s operation culture has been shown to reduce medication errors, thereby preventing some of the detrimental consequences of errors to neonatal patients. |
