Abstract
Objective The study aims to develop a core set of pediatric drug-drug interaction (DDI) pairs for which electronic alerts should be presented to prescribers during the ordering process. Methods A clinical decision support working group composed of Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) members was developed. CHA Pharmacists and Chief Medical Information Officers participated. Results Consensus was reached on a core set of 19 DDI pairs that should be presented to pediatric prescribers during the order process. Conclusions We have provided a core list of 19 high value drug pairs for electronic drug-drug interaction alerts to be recommended for inclusion as high value alerts in prescriber order entry software used with a pediatric patient population. We believe this list represents the most important pediatric drug interactions for practical implementation within computerized prescriber order entry systems.Keywords
