| Abstract Previous attempts to improve medication safety for hospitalised children have been ineffective because they take limited account of the sociotechnical context in which the interventions occur. To address this problem, we used work domain analysis to examine medicines management for hospitalised children in England. The analysis was based on data from documentary analysis and from observation of healthcare staff and patients. Our findings identified features of the work system that should be taken into account when planning improvement interventions for this setting. |
