Evaluating ther Capaility of Information Technology to Prevent Adverse Drug Events: A Computer Simulation Approach
Objective: To develop a computer simulation model that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of information technology applications designed to detect and prevent medication errors that result in adverse drug effects. Methods: A computer simulation model was constructed representing the medication delivery system in a hospital. STELLA, a continuous simulation software package, was used to c...
متن کاملResearch Paper: Evaluating the Capability of Information Technology to Prevent Adverse Drug Events: A Computer Simulation Approach
BACKGROUND The annual cost of morbidity and mortality due to medication errors in the U.S. has been estimated at $76.6 billion. Information technology implemented systematically has the potential to significantly reduce medication errors that result in adverse drug events (ADEs). OBJECTIVE To develop a computer simulation model that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of information tec...
متن کاملChoosing appropriate theories for understanding hospital reporting of adverse drug events, a theoretical domains framework approach
Adverse drug events (ADEs) may cause serious injuries including death. Spontaneous reporting of ADEs plays a great role in detection and prevention of them, however, underreporting always exists. Although several interventions have been utilized to solve this problem, they are mainly based on experience and the rationale for choosing them has no theoretical base. The vast variety of behavioral ...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics to predict drug-related adverse events.
Identification of reliable markers to predict drug-related adverse events (DRAEs) is an important goal of the pharmaceutical industry and others within the healthcare community. We have used genetic polymorphisms, including the most frequent source of variation (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) in the human genome, in pharmacogenetic approaches designed to predict DRAEs. Three studies exe...
متن کاملIdentifying Hospital Admissions Due to Adverse Drug Events: Using a Computer-Based Monitor
BACKGROUND Hospital admissions due to adverse drug events (ADEs) are expensive, and many may be preventable, yet few institutions have ongoing surveillance for these events. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of a computer-based ADE monitor to identify admissions due to ADEs and to measure the associated costs. DESIGN Prospective cohort study in one tertiary care hospital. PARTICIPANTS All pat...
