E-prescribing. Rewriting the script.

Abstract

Sending prescriptions electronically will also allow remote pharmacies to work effectively, so prescription medicines can be sent by post. The national programme for IT is adopting an incremental approach to the roll-out, both in functionality and the number of deployments. The legal change allowing ETP to replace paper prescriptions will probably be enacted alongside the new contractual framework for pharmacists due in April.

[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.
