Investigation of Possibility for Physician Order Entry System on Risk Management Strategy Related To Medication Errors

Abstract

 The possibility of the prescription ordering system on the risk management strategy related to drug therapy was investigated. In a prescription order ring system, the effect is accepted in error prevention because prescription is not completed unless all of required items are input and it is readable by printing the prescription sheets. However, there is a difference in prescribing procedure between the drugs for injection and the drugs for oral and external application, and the standard name for products registered into a drug basic master for the ordering system does not exist. So there are also many problems which should be solved towards standardization. Moreover, it may be considered that a new decision-making support functions such as “the prescription support window function” is useful as a tool for risk management.
