A Delphi consensus study to identify priorities for improving and measuring medication safety for intensive care patients on transfer to a hospital ward

Abstract

Our findings provide identification of priorities for medication-related intervention components to improve medication safety for intensive care patients transferring to a hospital ward. Prioritization is complemented by the identification and socio-technical categorization of barriers and facilitators to intervention delivery. The identified important medication and patient outcomes to measure will inform the design of a future patient medication safety intervention study.
