Drug dosing, indications and
contraindications
Incorrect drug dosing affects the safety of medicines every day in clinical work. In a meta-analysis containing more than 65,000 patients, the relative risk of dosing errors was reduced by 83% in adults when electronic prescribing with a clinical decision support system was used (1).
