Abstract

Adverse medical events and adverse drug events are not uncommon in NICUs, and research has been directed at determining the causes of such events as well as potential methods of reducing their occurrence. Both human fallibility and the complex adaptive system that comprises the NICU present opportunities for errors. Human factors engineering and systems can improve reliability, as can computer systems for ordering, dispensing, administering, and monitoring drugs. Barcode scanning medication dispensing and administration systems and smart pumps also have been investigated. Human factors that have contributed to errors include fatigue, communication failure, poor handoffs, problems with cross-coverage, workload, and staffing patterns. Addressing these factors can aid in reducing medical errors.
