Abstract
BackgroundIncorrect medication administration risks errors and patient harm. The aim of this study was to test the reliability of the newly developed medication administration evaluation and feedback tool. MethodsAn observational, fully crossed design using recorded scenarios in a simulated environment was used to test reliability and agreement of an evaluation tool for nurses administering medications. ResultsIntrarater and inter-rater reliability observed agreement overall were 84% and 82% with Fleiss Kappa coefficient 0.72 and 0.68, respectively. Overall intrarater and inter-rater reliability of the tool rated as good. ConclusionsThe medication administration evaluation and feedback tool is reliable in a simulated environment.
