From the viewpoint of hospital and risk management, it is very important to manage prescriptions brought by patients when they are hospitalized. However, with the multifarious tasks that pharmacists now have to perform it is difficult to check prescriptions soon after patients are hospitalized. In view of this, we devised a system that checks medicines brought in to hospital, outputs check sheets on which the names of drugs, their usage, dosage, remaining quantities and those with the same ingredients as drugs used in our hospital. The system also has a function for suggesting tests and items that need to be checked for drugs that require special caution (anticancer drugs, antidiabetics, antirheumatics, etc.) such as blood tests, adverse effects and therapeutic drug monitoring. It enabled us to check for interactions between drugs, or drugs and disease, and duplicated prescriptions quickly. The results of a questionnaire on our system that we gave to doctors and nurses showed that they appreciated it. We consider that the reinforced management of pharmaceuticals that it provides will contribute greatly to ensuring the proper use of drugs. Furthermore, if this system is linked with various order entry systems in the hospital (for blood tests, diseases, etc), pharmacists will be able to further improve the quality of their pharmaceutical counseling services.
