Abstract
|
|
|
|
S +nce errors in prescription potentially result in serious outcomes but can be prevented by multiple interventions, it is very important to update the knowledge on medicines and to improve physicians´ prescription for medication safety. The aim of this article is to review useful interventions to improve prescription in developed countries. The passive dissemination of drug information or clinical practice guide-lines alone is an insufficient method for improving most pre-scribing behaviors, although necessary. While the concurrent drug utilization review (DUR) could reduce inappropriate drug prescription and help physicians´ prescribing decisions, retrospective DUR and penalties should not be operated in order to hold down the cost of medication.
