Dr. James Broselow is the creator of the Broselow Tape, which is now used by virtually all hospitals in the US and Canada. It is the gold standard for pediatric medication administration. SafeDose is a medication reference that takes the Broselow Tape to the next level with thousands of medication indications. Like the Broselow Tape, SafeDose reduces errors with an easy-to-use visual approach. 30% of the human brain's cortex is devoted to vision. SafeDose's design as well as its content provides a much cleaner and quicker way for caregivers to mix and administer medications that using traditional references.
Use Cases
- SafeDose is a medication reference primarily for physicians and nurses. Physicians use it as a medical reference when ordering medications.
