Medication processing: closing the provider-pharmacy gap.

Abstract

The provision of medications to patients is not a departmental task managed by the pharmacy. Rather, it is an enterprise-wide task with management shared by physicians, pharmacists, and nurses. Only automation approaches that integrate all three axes in real time will be able to effectively support the desired goal: the optimal provision of the proper medication to the proper patient at the proper time.

[Clinical decision support: Is the number of medication errors reduced?].

22 papers on clinical decision support (CDS) for computer physician order entry (CPOE) and the ability to reduce medication errors were reviewed. Among the 22 original clinical trials, 21 demonstrated a reduced number of medication errors after the implementation of CDS. The effect was strongest for 2nd and 3rd generation of the CDS-systems. CPOE with CDS is time consuming and may generate new medication errors in itself. All the trials had poor designs. A Danish data source for CDS has not yet been established.
