Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the rates of medication errors in pediatric outpatients in 6 office practices Further we wish to determine the effectiveness of a computerized physician order entry CPOE system in reducing errors
Detailed Description: This study has the following 2 goals

Aim 1 To determine the rates types and predictors of medication errors and ADEs

Aim 2 To perform a trial assessing the effectiveness of an intervention CPOE on reducing serious medication errors

We hypothesize that

1 Medication errors and ADEs are frequent in ambulatory pediatrics
2 Presence of the following predictors will be associated with higher error rates cultural racial socioeconomic educational and linguistic barriers to communication understanding and successful completion of prescribed therapies complex medical or chronic medical conditions complex medication regimens non-physician providers with limited clinical experience high provider workloads and complex prescription refill systems
3 Prevention strategies including both technology-based and behavioral human factors-based interventions will be effective and cost-effective in reducing rates of serious medication errors defined as preventable ADEs and non-intercepted potential ADEs
