ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To improve the information system of Out-patient pharmacy intravenous admixture center (OUIVA) to improve the pharmaceutical service rendered to the transfusion patient and ensure the safety of drug use. METHODS:The defi-ciency in OUIVA information system of our hospital were analyzed,in which improvement was made with respect to ungrouped doctor’s orders,inconsistency between the total doses charged and the prescribed doses and the error of transfusion days that occurred fre-quently. The conformity rate of out-patient fluid transfusion prescriptions and the time of patients’waiting for transfusion before and after the improvement were compared and evaluated. RESULTS:Improvement was made to OUIVA information system through the optimization of transfusion process,the application of condition limit,the adding of logical operation and verification and the other measures. After improvement,the unconformity rate of out-patient prescriptions in our hospital descended from 11.24% in 2013 to 3.69% in 2014,with an obvious increase in the accuracy rate of dispensing for fluid transfusion;and the time of patients’waiting for transfusion was shortened from 30-40 min to 15-20 min,with an increase in the degree of satisfaction of transfusion patients. CONCLUSIONS:The OUIVA information system can reduce the errors of drug dispensing for fluid transfusion and improve pharmaceutical services.
