Hi everyone, we have had a couple pediatric weight error near misses in recent months. We were reviewing ISMP safe practice recommendations and noted the following recommendation. "Leverage the EHR. Check if your EHR can incorporate age-based percentile support which could help raise suspicion that a weight or height may be incorrect."
