Abstract
Children with medical complexity (CMC) often have lengthy medication lists and are at risk of experiencing suboptimal medication management. This tool tutorial describes a novel and pragmatic strategy for the development and implementation of medication rounds, a model that promotes medication safety for hospitalized CMC. An interprofessional group designed and implemented a pharmacy-led medication rounding care model, in which clinicians and pharmacists partner weekly to conduct reviews of all patient medications on a general pediatrics CMC team using a comprehensive checklist. This approach fosters medication safety for hospitalized CMC and could be adapted to other complex inpatient populations.
