Abstract
A number of deaths from medical errors occur every year. Medicine management can significantly reduce medical errors as it is a scientific proof-based approach to prescribe and manage the patient's medicines to protect the safety, tolerability, and potential of the medication. It helps practitioners to achieve the optimum use of medicines for a patient and optimizes the treatment's benefits that offer and accomplish the best results for each patient. The espousal rate of Health Information System (HIS) in Malaysian public hospital are very low, and the current implemented HIS are not integrated. After analyzing the current HIS, this study has proposed an Integrated Medicine Management System (IMMS) to optimize the Malaysian HIS. IMMS enables the healthcare professional to prescribe the medicine while prescribing if IMMS finds any medicine-related issue i.e. drug-drug interaction, drug-disease interaction, inappropriate drug-dosage according to patient type IMMS will show the alert on the prescriber's screen. In case of no issue in prescription, it will save as patient medication history and will show on the pharmacy's screen as a medication order with cautions, side effects, and the location where the prescribed medicine is located in the pharmacy. IMMS provides the centralization of patient data it enables the facility of integration of healthcare centers nationwide. So, the proposed system can help to optimize the Malaysian HIS. The proposed system is evaluated with a survey 95% of respondents (healthcare professionals) are agree that the IMMS is helpful to decrease the possibility of medicine errors.
每年都有许多人死于医疗事故。药物管理可以显著减少医疗差错,因为它是一种基于科学证据的方法来开处方和管理患者的药物,以保护药物的安全性、耐受性和潜力。它帮助从业者实现药物对患者的最佳使用,并优化治疗的好处,为每位患者提供并实现最佳结果。马来西亚公立医院的健康信息系统(HIS)使用率很低,而且目前实施的HIS没有整合。本研究在分析马来西亚医疗卫生系统现况的基础上,提出整合医疗管理系统(Integrated Medicine Management System, IMMS)以优化马来西亚医疗卫生系统。如果IMMS发现任何与药物相关的问题,如药物-药物相互作用、药物-疾病相互作用、根据患者类型不适当的药物剂量,IMMS将在处方者的屏幕上显示警告。在处方没有问题的情况下,它将保存为患者的用药历史,并将在药房的屏幕上显示为药物订单,包括注意事项,副作用和处方药物在药房的位置。IMMS提供了患者数据的集中化,从而实现了全国医疗保健中心的集成。因此,所提出的系统可以帮助优化马来西亚的HIS。95%的受访者(医疗保健专业人员)同意IMMS有助于减少医疗差错的可能性。
