Perioperative Recommendations for Medication Safety

The purpose of the proposed research is to create and disseminate expert-based recommendations for perioperative medication safety that are tailored to country income level, using the World Bank's four country income groups: high, upper-middle, lower-middle, and low income. The specific aims of the research are to: 1) Develop consensus-based perioperative medication safety recommendations, 2) Prioritize the recommendations by their level of clinical importance for implementation in high, upper-middle, lower-middle and low income countries, and disseminate the recommendations; and 3) Evaluate the initial adoption of the recommendations in each country income group.
