Summary Objective: To develop a module for the prevention of drug- related allergies to be integrated within the assisted electronic pre- scription software PRISMA ® . Method: On module design potential sources of medication errors regarding drug allergies were first analyzed, and ideal mod- ule characteristics were defined. Then a review of the literature was performed to define "group allergies", and last of all master archives were created, with their required relations being estab- lished. Results: A module for the prevention of drug-related allergies in the setting of an assisted electronic prescription software was designed. By interrelating tables listing active ingredients, excipi- ents, chemical structures/functional groups, and "group allergies" prescriptions may be interactively checked, and useful information is provided to the prescribing practitioner - as well as the whole multidisciplinar team - to help him make his/her decisions. |
