Abstract
As a member of the medical team for preventing malignant outcomes from pressure ulcers, we pharmacists established a management system for pressure ulcers using electronic medical records and local area networks. Our system comprises assessment records based on DESIGN, a list of ointments and dressing materials and progress reports for each patient. This system has helped medical staff to give more attention to individual patients with pressure ulcers and unified treatment for pressure ulcers in our hospital. Under the system, we have been participating in the assessment and treatment of pressure ulcers in the wards and advised medical staff on pharmacological effects, dosage, and adverse effects. We have also been monitoring malignancy and managing drugs and dressings. Our system has helped discover pressure ulcers at an early stage and improved clinical outcomes for individual patients.
