Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The drug utilization review (DUR) system, which checks any conflict event of medications, contributes to improve patient safety. One of the important barriers in its adoption is doctors’ resistance. This study aimed to analyze the impacts of doctors’ resistance on the success of the DUR system.
Methods: This study adopted an augmented the DeLone and McLean Information System (D&M IS) Success Model (2003), which used doctors’ resistance as a socio-technological measure. This study framework is the same as that of the D&M IS Success Model in that it is based on qualities, such as system, information, and services. The major difference is that this study excluded the variable ‘use’ because it was not statistically significant for mandatory systems. A survey of doctors who used computers to enter prescriptions was conducted at a Korean tertiary hospital in February 2012.
Results: This study is very meaningful in that it is the first study to explore the success factors of the DUR system associated with doctors’ resistance. Doctors’ resistance to the DUR system was not statistically associated with user usefulness, whereas it affected user satisfaction.
Conclusions: The results indicate that doctors still complain of discomfort in using the DUR system in the outpatient clinical setting, even though they admit that it contributes to patient safety. To mitigate doctors’ resistance and raise user satisfaction, more opinions from doctors regarding the DUR system have to be considered and have to be reflected in the system.
