Assessing medication discrepancies in pediatric patients: a cross-sectional feasibility study using the Medication Discrepancy Taxonomy (MedTax) in a pediatric ward

This study shows the feasibility of using the MedTax taxonomy to identify and classify medication discrepancies in pediatric patients during ToC. While MedTax effectively categorized most discrepancies, challenges in classifying some highlight the need for refinement to address pediatric medication complexities. These findings emphasize the importance of developing tailored tools to improve medication reconciliation in pediatrics.
