藥物資訊網路系統

A Web-based Pharmaceutical Information System

國內一般醫療院所因服務病人多，醫師及藥師專業人力不足，一般民眾普遍抱怨在就診過程中總是掛號、候診和領藥時間長，醫師看病時間短，衛生教育（保健、治療、用藥說明）時間短。因此民眾從就醫醫療院所獲得之用藥安全資訊普遍不足，導致於多數民眾在資訊不充分的情況下用藥。為了能夠讓民眾清楚了解藥品特性，減少藥物的副作用或對個人健康的不良影響，促進病患安全用藥，本研究提出網路藥物諮詢服務與病患個人用藥知識教育輔助系統，利用資訊及網路科技，自動擷取醫院資訊系統中的病患處方資料，建立病患個人用藥紀錄檔案。同時對每一藥品整合其藥品外觀圖片，附加臨床用藥指導，以及連結醫囑的用法及用量摘要等建立多媒體藥物資料庫，若有需要更可以直接連結至衛生署藥品資料庫，以使病患可以很方便的瀏覽個人藥品資訊，以輔助醫院藥物諮詢服務與病患用藥知識教育之不足，促進病患安全用藥。由於病患可以更方便和更容易獲得藥品資訊，可能誘發醫師病患之間更多的互動與討論，對醫病關係的發展與影響將繼續深入調查研究。

Most people in Taiwan acquire their drug guidelines or pharmaceutical information from the medical professionals of healthcare providers. However, based on the current health insurance policy, the healthcare providers can hardly afford the patient education for the public. Hence, it is important to develop pharmaceutical education information systems in which people can easily inquire the knowledge of their diseases, medication and drug guidelines to compensate the inadequacy of patient education. In this project we developed a web-based pharmaceutical education information system based on an individual profile of his/her prescriptions. The profile can automatically be built up by accessing the related hospital information systems. We also designed a multimedia drug database containing the outlooks of drug items, drug guidelines, summaries of drug use, and links to relevant materials. Thus, a patient can access his/her drug information by keying his account name, date of birth and password. This system can help patients to get the information. Although when patients obtained more medical knowledge, they may induce the questions or asks to doctors who might consider them as annoyance. As a matter of fact, patients will be empowered by the Internet, and can access more medical knowledge. Thus, medical professionals should adopt this change, and catch up the most advanced knowledge to improve doctor-patient relationships.
