Can Electronic Medical Record be used for Reducing DOAC Prescription Errors in Inpatients?
Author(s): Friederike Steffen, Constantin von zur Mühlen, Armin Nemani, Timo Heidt, Johannes Schulte, Christoph Bode and Marvin Krohn-Grimberghe*
Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are commonly used for treating or preventing thromboembolic events. At the same time anticoagulants are a notorious cause of medication errors. Such medication errors can jeopardize patients’ health and challenge the economy of healthcare systems. With the potential of e-health systems for reducing medication errors, our study investigates the effects of medication highlighting. Methods: To highlight medications with anticoagulatory properties in the electronic health records of cardiologic inpatients, a color scheme was introduced at our university hospital. We performed chart reviews of DOAC-related medication errors due to co-prescription of more than one anticoagulatory drug or omitted pausing of DOACs before interventions with increased bleeding risks. Chart reviews were performed bef.. View more»
