      This idea is over 2 years old and has 80 votes. Why hasn't this been addressed??

      This is a huge patient safety issue. Our providers have critical patients in the ER and have to calculate a dose, convert to mL then calculate a flow rate just to enter an order. That is absolutely ridiculous, it's 2024! Our providers are very frustrated.

    Weight based dosing

    If meds could be dosed based on kg, it would be a lot easier for providers to enter orders, reduce associated med errors, and be much safer for patients.
