Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In pediatric pharmacotherapy, clinicians are often left to use case reports, case series, and retrospective reviews to determine the most efficacious and safe pharmacotherapy in pediatric patients. Despite federal legistlation, the lag time for pediatric-specific labeling for drugs approved for use in adults is approximately eight years. This lag time necessitates the use of medications off-lable. The intent of this Special Issue is to provide clinicians with data supporting or cautioning use of medications that may have limited data to optimize efficacious and safe pharmacotherapy in pediatrics.


We invite authors to share expeiences with medications in pediatric patients with limited data related to efficacy and safety. This may include experience with new dosing regimens, monitoring parameters, and pharmacokinetic or pharmacogenomic considerations. Our hope is that this Issue can contribute to and advance pediatric pharmacotherapy.

Lack of standardization related to compounded drug preparations, especially in the transition of care situations, threatens patient safety by facilitating medication error. This paper outlines progress to-date from the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Expert Panel on the Exchange of Compounded Drug Preparation Information in Health IT Systems. The work plan developed for the group is focused on proposing a set of encoding rules that would govern how compounded nonsterile drug preparations (CNSPs) are digitized and exchanged, including patient electronic health records (EHR), pharmacy systems, e-prescribing (eRx), and other Health IT (HIT) systems to ensure a seamless compounding process tailored to the needs of an individual patient. Included in this work are identifying authorized compounding monographs, surveying provider and end-user groups for information about data specificity during e-prescribing, and generating guidelines for the development of a compatible data model for clinical formulation identifiers (CF-IDs). This paper will also discuss how evolving nomenclature standards for CNSPs within HIT systems are part of a quality assurance system for comprehensive medication management (CMM) in children, thereby minimizing medication errors across the continuum of care. Finally, a network approach for the design of medication management systems for children and their families/caregivers is proposed. Full article
