Most hospitals provide their staff members with drug information in printed form. This method is inefficient and causes problems when frequent updating is essential. In order to rectify this problem, we developed a drug information query system (DIQS) in out hospital Pharmacy Division based on the Formulary of Osaka Medical College Hospital. The DIQS allows anyone at a work station to have immediate access to our database management system (DBMS) operable through Osaka Medical College's local area network (LAN).
The DIQS accepts multiple platforms and provides useres with real-time accession to the most updated drug information using a simple operational procedure.
