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 کاملUsing Pixel-Based Visualizations to Detect Adverse Drug Events
Adverse reactions to drugs are a major public healthcare issue. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes quarterly reports that typically contain in the order of 200,000 adverse incidents. In such a large number of incidents, low frequency events that may be highly clinically significant but are often undetected. In this poster, we introduce a pixel cell-based visualization t...
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 کاملUsing Medical Emergency Teams to detect preventable adverse events
INTRODUCTION Medical Emergency Teams (METs), also known as Rapid Response Teams, are recommended as a patient safety measure. A potential benefit of implementing an MET is the capacity to systematically assess preventable adverse events, which are defined as poor outcomes caused by errors or system design flaws. We describe how we used MET calls to systematically identify preventable adverse ev...
متن کاملInformation technology for detecting medication errors and adverse drug events.
It is estimated that over three-quarters of a million people are injured or die in hospitals each year from adverse drug events (ADEs). The majority of medical errors result from poorly designed healthcare systems rather than from negligence on the part of healthcare providers. In general, healthcare systems rely on voluntary reporting, which seriously underestimates the number of medication er...
