Construct a Cpoe Decision Supporting and Monitoring System to Decrease Pims Used in Hospitalized Elderly Patients.

We use Hyperion search PIMs in hospitalized patients from 2010 to 2011, investigate the relationship between PIM and the physician prescriptions, patients’ characteristics, such as age, gender, diagnosis, et al. We’ll construct a CPOE decision supporting and monitoring system to help physician prescribe appropriately, on the other hand to monitored the suitability of the medications by clinical pharmacist(Figure 1-3). We use chi-square test to examine PIM incidence before and after these two system intervention. Logistic regression to analyzed the relationship between PIM and relative risk factors. Patients’ characteristics such as gender, age, and drug category are analyzed by descriptive statistics and chi-square test.
