Why do I need PedDrugDose?
• Dosing errors are the most common pediatric medication error. Over 4 Million dosing errors occur each year in the US alone.
• These dosing errors can be serious and are preventable. Proper dosing is safer for your patients with PedDrugDose.
• Correctly dosing a pediatric medication takes time. With PedDrugDose, instead of doing math and checking your work, you could be seeing patients.
• Using your phone or tablet at the bedside or in the office offers the convenience of just in time information and clinical support
• In head-to-head comparisons with other dosing applications for children, PedDrugDose was easier and faster to use for both clinicians and non-clinical persons alike!
• Unlike all other pediatric dosing programs, PedDrugDose shows you all of the dosing options within the target range, giving you more control over the final dose.
