Abstract
As one of the causes of malpractice in connection with injection, a lack of knowledge regarding medical supplies has been observed, and therefore more precise information needs to be provided to medical workers by pharmacists. In order to offer the information of medical supplies to a medical worker and qualitatively improve injection. audits, we attempted to develop an injection expenditure system which added an injection information system (the amount of electrolyte and the capacity of infusion information system, a compatibility information system and cautions information system at the time of dissolution, storage) and an injection audit auxiliary system (a patient monitor system and the former patient check system for cancer chemotherapy). In this study, the effects of the injection information and audit auxiliary system on the rational use of injection were evaluated. Compared with the former system, it appeared that these systems are effect for the improved use of such injections. Simultaneously, based on a questionnaire to nurses, it appeared that this system also provides useful information on the infusion capacity, compatibility, the method for dissolution and storage after the dissolution. These results suggested that this system is useful for improving the quality of life of patients and also for the prevention of malpractice suits.
