ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the unreasonable medical orders at the pharmacy intravenous admixture service ( PIVAS) of our hospital to improve clinical medication. Methods: The medical orders from January to October in 2013 were collected and reviewed, the unreasonable medical orders were analyzed and the results were informed to the clinics. Results:Totally 323 unreasonable medical orders were found, which accounted for 0. 03%. The unreasonable aspects included unreasonable compatibility, input error, irregular medical orders, over dosage or concentration, unsuitability between dosage and age and the disproportion between dosage and diagno-sis. Conclusion:The irrationality in intravenous medical orders still exists in clinics, which shows drug use risks. The unreasonable medical orders can be avoided or reduced through the review of medical orders by pharmacists at PIVAS to improve the safety of clinical drug use.
