Abstract

|
|
The Drug Information Service of AMC(Asan Medical Center) has been providing drug discrimination service since 1989. Most patients attending general hospitals, including AMC, have previously been to other clinics, and therefore it is important to know the patients´ prior medication. Requests for drug discrimination are increasing every year and they are mostly being discriminated by personal experiences, by reference to Medical Index, PDR, and other databases, and by making inquiries at the prior prescribed clinic or drug store. Recently, we are also consulting the ´actual drug reference´ of domestic drugs which was collected by AMC and the database of psychotropic and hypertensive agents produced by KSHP. Yet, the fact that most drugs are indistinctable by appearance and the limitation of data are still the barriers and the necessity of the computerized drug discrimination program is obvious. So we surveyed the results of drug discrimination since we started this service and on the base of this results, we have developed a drug discrimination service analysis program to support the computerization. By the program the consults, the cases of each consults, the frequency of each department, the mainly requested drug, the proportion of out-pateints to hospitalized patients, discrimination rate, whether the disease states are written or not, the rate of failure and classifying the reasons of the failure to ´assumption´(drug effects, product names etc.) and ´unpredictable´(powders, granules, discoloration, crushes, lack of data, no marks etc.) of each case requested for discrimination was analyzed and evaluated. We hope the results could help the computerizing work of drug discrimination and would provide a more qualified service of drug discrimination.
