The National Institute of Medicine's report, "To Err is Human, was extremely critical of the health care delivery system in the United States.(1) Medication errors were a major contributor to the medical misadventures discussed in the report. The pharmacy department of our facility began to use its data warehouse for identifying potential problems and discovering patients who may have "fallen through the cracks" of the traditional drug delivery system. To date, the system has been used to identify several areas of opportunity for the pharmacy department, for example identifying patients on quinidine who were supposed to have been prescribed quinine. The system also has been used to monitor patient safety issues as medication use guidelines are altered. The system provides fairly rapid access to information, with a typical search taking ten minutes or less. |
