Although the use of ondansetron for children who vomit because of acute gastro enteritis (AGE)is proven to be cost-effective, there are barriers for implementing correct prescription and usage of ondansetron in general practice. In the GO-KIDS project, collaboration between experts, healthcare providers, and parents will lead to the development and evaluation of three implementation strategies: a Pharmaco Therapy Audit Meeting (PTAM) module, e-learning for healthcare providers, and set of information materials for parents. This with the ultimate goal of more efficient use of ondansetron and improved care for children with AGE.
GO-KIDS is part of research group Children and adolescents in primary care.
The development of new medicines takes a lot of time and money. How smart would it be to use already existing medicines more efficiently, and apply them for improving health care?
For the GO-KIDS project, the aim is to implement more efficient use of the medicine ondansetron, thereby improving health care for children with AGE.
