Southborough, MA, February 27, 2024 — SafeDose®, a pioneer in the safe, simple, and standardized delivery of pediatric medication in acute care settings, has added a comprehensive set of educational tools which can be used to train nurses who care for pediatric patients in emergency settings. The Pediatric Education Resources package is included with the Premium subscription offering for the SafeDose drug administration software suite.
“These resources are perfect for busy ED nursing educators who need to create pediatric education classes,” said Amanda Simmons, BSN, RN, CPEN, Director of Client Services who led the development of this information. “ED leaders can use these resources to fill in the educational gaps for new nurses, onboarding education, and for in-services and skills practice in between PALS and ENPC for the more experienced nurses.”
The SafeDose Pediatric Education Resources include comprehensive simulation planners, quick visual in-service sheets, and brief videos on where to find further point-of-care and educational content within the SafeDose software. Pediatric areas covered by these tools include asthma, bronchiolitis, croup, and sepsis. New categories, including pediatric triage, shock, anaphylaxis, and seizures are planned for upcoming release.
“This set of resources, developed by our experienced nursing staff, was designed to help hospital educators tasked with training their staff in the specifics of caring for pediatric patients in the ED,” said John Gobron, CEO of SafeDose, Inc. “Outside of children’s specialty hospitals and dedicated pediatric EDs, there is often limited information or expertise available for developing training programs specific to pediatric medication administration. We are excited to offer this detailed training curriculum and related point-of-care tools to our SafeDose software customers.”
The SafeDose suite of reference tools provides clinicians with the peace of mind that pediatric medications are being delivered safely. SafeDose simplifies medication administration by eliminating weight-based and other manual calculations and providing the proper dose, dilution, delivery time, and dangers of every drug. SafeDose provides a double check to ensure the right drug is properly delivered to every patient, every time. SafeDose is currently in use at 417 facilities, including the top community, academic, for-profit, and children’s hospitals in the US.
As part of the the release of this important addition to the SafeDose suite of pediatric medication safety products, SafeDose is offering unlimited access to the complete asthma education & dosing bundle at no charge for pilot use for any hospital that signs up before May 1, 2024. This bundle includes access to the asthma section within the SafeDose software, asthma Readiness Resources, and asthma Education Resources.
