Reduce Medication Errors by Translating AESOP Model Into CPOE Systems

Investigators develop an electronic reminder in CPOE system which notifies physicians when there appears to be an inappropriate prescription. At the time, a physician saves a typed prescription, our system analyzes the patient's medications, diseases and uses the knowledge base to determine whether a medication is uncommonly prescribed to all diseases in a given prescription. If the system detects the common associations of medications and diseases in a given prescription, it considers an appropriate prescription, and, if not, an actionable reminder is shown onscreen. To the right of each suggested uncommon medication is a reason why the reminder is appearing. Physicians can accept the reminder or ignore the reminder.
