Abstract:Objectives: To explore the pediatrics and neonates standardized concentration of cardiovascular intravenous infusion as new initiatives in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: It is a new initiative project drove by national standardized concentration of cardiovascular intravenous infusion services. The projects formulated from the international business model, pharmacy project guidelines and project management institution guidelines of a new project. The initiative project is written through project management professionals and consisted of several parts, including the initial phase, the planning phase, the execution phase, the monitoring and controlling phase. Results: Results indicates that the pediatrics and neonates standardized concentration of cardiovascular intravenous infusion services with a defined vision, mission and goals. The services had multiple benefits including clinical and economic on patients, the continuous of the project assured by risk management model description and the monitoring and controlling of the services as explored in the review. The transition to operation project though closing project stage confirmed in the analysis. Conclusion: The pediatrics and neonates standardized concentration of cardiovascular intravenous infusion services is a new initiative as part of the intravenous admixture program. The pediatrics and neonates standardized concentration of cardiovascular might diminution the workload of healthcare, pharmacy staff and avoid additional unnecessary economic burden on healthcare system; it is highly recommended to implement in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Highlights

The medication errors may rarely occur with adults or pediatrics and neonatal populations[5,6] The medication errors in neonates or pediatrics more dangerous than adults lead to a high mortality rate
The common mistake came from parental medications and high alert medications,[5,6] and Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) release some recommendations to standardized the neonates medication concentration with emphasis on cardiovascular drugs- to avoid the mistakes.[7,8]
The committee utilized and drove the pharmacy parenteral administration guidelines, from the textbook and international literature pediatrics and neonates standardized Concentration of Cardiovascular Intravenous Infusion Medications written by utilizing the international business model, pharmacy project guidelines and project management institution guidelines of a new project.[22,23,24,25]

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Medication errors consider noteworthy problems in healthcare organizations, locally and internationally.[1,2,3,4] The medication errors may rarely occur with adults or pediatrics and neonatal populations[5,6] The medication errors in neonates or pediatrics more dangerous than adults lead to a high mortality rate. The common mistake came from parental medications and high alert medications,[5,6] and Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) release some recommendations to standardized the neonates medication concentration with emphasis on cardiovascular drugs- to avoid the mistakes.[7,8] The guidelines of pediatrics or neonatal parental medications released during 2012-2015 as the activities of the national medications safety program.[9] the guidelines of preparations of neonatal or pediatrics medications did not include the standardized concentration of medications with an emphasis on cardiovascular drugs.[10] Various researches published to show the outcome of the standardized concentration of medications. [11,12,13,14,15,16,17] the local or Gulf and the Middle East studies about pediatrics and neonates standardized concentration of cardiovascular intravenous infusion not existed.[12,18,19,20,21] The goal of the review project is to declare the pediatrics and neonates standardized concentration of cardiovascular intravenous infusion as new initiatives in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
