As pharmacists,we are now required to confirm that the patient is safely and correctly using the medication.We can make no exception for medication brought to the hospital by inpatients.
We started to check medication brought to the hospital from July 2005,and found that could have been prevented medicinal accidents.Whereas,we don’t have much time to spare and we were swamped with this work at the beginning.
To save our time,we made a program using Microsoft EXCEL to efficiently make the Administrative Drug informationSheets for medication brought to the hospital by inpatient.This program can automatically show a lot of information.If the exact brand name medicine dose not exist in our hospital,the program shows where it is available one including same component.And it shows some marks to call our attention for needs to treat carefully,like diabetes medicines,narcotics and others.
We compared the length of time it takes before and after using this program,almost 10 hours per one pharmacist in a month could be saved.Using this program,we can be prompt to provide present medication history of inpatients with useful information for doctors and nurses.
It is clear that this program is useful.
