There is little longitudinal information about the type and frequency of harm resulting from medication errors among outpatient children with cancer. We aimed to characterize rates types leukemia lymphoma over 7 months treatment.We recruited taking medications at home for or three pediatric cancer centers. Errors were identified by chart review, in-home observation administration, interviews. Physician reviewers confirmed error (Fleiss' κ = 0.95), 0.82), suggested interventions. Generalized...
