Background: Computerized physician order entry systems can reduce prescription writing errors, however, the typing error or lack of knowledge still can't be avoided. A decision-guide order entry system can really reduce these errors. Although the clinical drug monitoring by pharmacist can prevent medication error effectively, the time-consuming and labor-intensive limit this effectiveness. When integrate these ways of decision-guide order entry system and drug monitoring by pharmacist to avoid medication errors, the benefits of patient drug safety may be improved. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of integrated the pharmacist clinical monitoring practices and decision-guide order entry system to reduce the antibiotic dosing errors and the incidence of adverse drug events.Material and methods: 1. The antibiotic dosage decision-guide calculators which have 13 antibiotics related renal functions was implemented into CPOE system. The appropriate dosage regimen can provide automatically when the antibiotics were been prescribed. 2. The clinical pharmacist could scan in patients' antibiotic dosage by ”antibiotic dosage monitoring system”, and further provided appropriate recommendations to physicians. 3. Compared the risk of inappropriate antibiotic dosage prescriptions and kidney impairment before and after these two ways were integrated. Use description method to analyze the physicians' acceptant rates of dosage recommendations from antibiotic dosage decision-guide calculators and pharmacists.Results and discussion: After these two ways were integrated for 4 years, the inappropriate antibiotic dosing errors were decreased about 80%, the relative risk (RR) were within 0.23-0.18. The incidence rates of antibiotic related renal function deterioration were decreased from 12.39% to 9.47% before and after integrated. The physician acceptant rates in dosage decision function were increased from 68.2% in 2005 to 94.7% in 2008, and 97.65% in pharmacist dosage recommendations. According to this study result, we can conclude that the integrated pharmacist clinical monitoring practices and decision-guide order entry system really to assist physicians prescribing correct antibiotic prescriptions, and reduce the adverse events due to dosage error. |
