Our research shows that when we have a consistent way of educating caregivers, we can reduce the chance that mistakes will be made.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Philips is part of a dedicated quality improvement team at CHAM, created to identify issues and implement sustainable fixes to reduce preventable harm and improve patient safety. Supported in part by National Institute of Health grants, she and several other CHAM and Einstein investigators are studying problems affecting patient-care delivery and developing solutions for them. Dr. Philips is also a scholar in the Learning Health System Center of Excellence at Einstein and Montefiore, which provides mentoring and training on how to use data to continuously improve the delivery of care. <\/p>\n<p>For the <i>Pediatrics <\/i>study, Dr. Philips sought to improve parental knowledge about their child&#8217;s medication needs and create clearer instructions to follow at home. She developed and implemented a program called MEDRITES, which stands for:\u00a0 <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>M<\/b>edication name <\/li>\n<li><b>E<\/b>ngagement with the family <\/li>\n<li><b>D<\/b>ose, <b>R<\/b>oute, <b>I<\/b>ndications and <b>T<\/b>iming <\/li>\n<li>Expected <b>E<\/b>ffects and side <b>E<\/b>ffects <\/li>\n<li><b>S<\/b>torage counseling and <b>S<\/b>yringe for accurate administration <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over the 12-month intervention period, caregivers received bedside medication counseling where the provider discussed each topic in MEDRITES in depth. The family also took home improved documentation with clear instructions. Within a week of being discharged, investigators held phone interviews with 249 caregivers, asking how well they understood and were able to follow the discharge instructions. Compared to the 157 patient caregivers interviewed before the program, people who discussed MEDRITES and received improved take-home documentation had better understanding of their child&#8217;s medication needs.<\/p>\n<p>MEDRITES has been incorporated into another quality initiative at CHAM called &#8220;SAFER Care,&#8221; led by <span class=\"xn-person\">Audrey Uong<\/span>, M.D., attending physician, CHAM, and assistant professor of pediatrics, Einstein. This initiative provides additional discharge guidance for families on topics including: how to prepare children to go back to school; when to follow up with their pediatrician; and what symptoms could indicate signs of relapse. Additionally, MEDRITES is incorporated into annual education for new doctors and several subspecialty providers are adopting a similar process for discharge medication counseling and documentation for their patients.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The MEDRITES initiative demonstrates that making simple changes, like rounding medication doses to amounts that are appropriate and safe, but also easier to measure, can have a big impact on how children are cared for at home,&#8221; said Dr. Philips. &#8220;We believe this intervention could be used at hospitals throughout the country to help prevent medication-related errors for children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The manuscript is titled <i>MEDRITES: A Project to Improve the Pediatric Inpatient Discharge Medication Process. <\/i>It is co-authored by <span class=\"xn-person\">Roy Zhou<\/span>, MD, <span class=\"xn-person\">Diana S.
