NCT ID NCT07254741
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether having a clinical pharmacist review medications daily, with help from a mobile app, could reduce errors in hospitalized children aged 2 to 15. About 2000 kids took part, with some getting usual care and others getting extra pharmacist checks. The goal was to see if this approach catches more mistakes and improves safety.
