Emily Jerry Foundation announces partnership with eBroselow |
The Emily Jerry Foundation and eBroselow LLC are pleased to announce a partnership to promote pediatric dosing safety and standardization.
About the Emily Jerry Foundation:
The core of the Emily Jerry Foundation's focus is on protecting our nation's babies and children from the all too redundant medical errors that occur in hospitals across the nation. These countless mistakes are killing our children and are most often avoidable. We are increasing public awareness of these issues and striving to get better legislation in place across the United States. Unfortunately, "human error" will always be a component of medicine. With that being said, The Emily Jerry Foundation is committed to finding technology and better safe patient practices that are clinically proven to reduce or minimize this "human error" component in medicine and will help eliminate these types of tragedies from happening over and over again. The Foundation is currently partnering with a number of these companies and organizations that provide clinically proven patient safety solutions. Our foundation is doing everything it can to get these very important solutions integrated in our nation's hospitals and medical facilities as quickly as possible. Subsequently, The Emily Jerry Foundation is helping to save countless lives, as well as, make our world-renowned medical facilities much safer for everyone beginning with our country's most valued "little miracles" all of our nation's children!
About eBroselow:
Artemis addresses the problem that in EMS and emergency room settings, code situations requiring acute dosing with children are error-prone. They are particularly stressful and challenging due to the sensitivity of children to drugs and due to the complex calculations required.
Contributing to the problem, there is no national standard for acute pediatric dosing. In 2010, eBroselow and the nonprofit Pediatric Pharmacy Advocacy group, the worlds largest organization for pediatric pharmacists, launched the Artemis initiative to address this lack of a standard.
eBroselow is based in Blacksburg, VA and shares with the Emily Jerry Foundation a similar vision of saving children's lives.

Upgrade your Broselow tape: eBroselow releases SafeDose App |
Drs. Jim Broselow and Robert Luten are proud to release eBroselow SafeDose, a revolutionary new app that will serve as a “second check” for pediatric medication administration. It is like having a trusted pediatric pharmacist (or Doctors Broselow or Luten) looking over your shoulder to make sure any dose you give to a child is accurate. Avoid the frustrating ten-fold dosing errors that can lead to "death by decimal point.”
The SafeDose app uses a child’s weight range or Broselow Color to choose a drug or indication from a list SafeDose displays the standard dose in mg and presents the mLs to administer for the selected concentration. This information can be used to double check that physician orders are in the correct range. SafeDose also provides mixing, preparation and administration instructions. It also shows adverse affects and other information.
