 “Healthy Children build a Stronger Nation”

 This is not just a slogan that we frequently quote during observing
 Children’s week. This slogan becomes very much important when we get ready
 to bring holistic upliftment of the state and status of child care in the
 world. Shockingly, according to an Institute of Medicine report
 approximately 7,000 paediatric deaths occur every year from preventable
 medication errors. This has called for an increasing consideration towards
 paediatric medication safety to be taken by the medical fraternity so that
 we can achieve the essence of the above-mentioned slogan.

 As a matter of fact, it is more evident that paediatric patients are more
 susceptible to medication errors. The reasons vary, which include
 difference in the physical and social approach, the necessity for perfect
 patient-specific dosing. Another important consideration in paediatric
 medication is weight-based drug calculation for the patients. Common
 errors are noticed in prescriptions for controlled substances. This has
 posed a serious question about the quality of prescription being written
 in our hospitals and clinics. Paediatric patient safety has become a big
 concern in the recent times.

 Moreover, what is disturbing is the cost of these errors. We are at a
 bigger stake that includes the patient, drug cost, potential therapeutic
 mishaps, pharmacist time and the physician. The most fitting solution
 available at the first hand is the use of electronic paediatric
 prescribing tool. This is an automated tool that takes care of the whole
 bunch of important as well as casual consideration involved in child
 medication. Electronic prescription software brings in a systematic
 approach to paediatric prescribing.

 Humanistic approach may, at times, fail to connect the missing links, but
 the software approach never fails to do the task. It is just a one-time
 affair to type in the necessary details about the patient in the software
 database and the tool, then takes care of every small and big aspect,
 weeks-on-week and months-on-month. Keeping this in view, many hospitals
 and medical education institutes have made a serious intervention by
 introducing medical prescriptions writing for safe medication practices.

 Out of a few trusted [paediatric medical writing

 offers the best child growth and development module for the
 paediatricians. The software has provisions for issuing safe prescription
 according to the individual child’s physical and medical conditions. This
 is the best prescription management software that has a dedicated
 paediatric module. The doctors are offered with advices, suggestions
 according to the information they feed into the patients’ database. The
 software takes an analytical approach to finding the overall growth
 pattern of the child right from its birth and accordingly suggests the
 best possible medication.

 To summarise, listed below are some of the key features of Prescription
