Adverse medication events are associated with a significant number of hospital admissions, and the appropriate recording of these events plays a vital role in medication safety. We set out to analyse the time and extrapolated cost in reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
A time and motion study of the tasks involved in reviewing, assessing, reporting and communicating ADRs was done over a period of 2 months.
We found a median of 69 min was needed in background work per ADR report.
The commitment involved in the support of this program is considerable and will encourage further refinement to streamline the process.
不良药物事件与大量住院治疗有关,因此正确记录这些事件对于药物安全至关重要。我们旨在分析报告药物不良反应(ADR)的时间和推算成本。
对审查、评估、报告和沟通 ADR 所涉及的任务进行了为期 2 个月的时间和动作研究。
我们发现每一份 ADR 报告需要平均 69 分钟的背景工作时间。
支持该计划所需的投入相当大,并将鼓励进一步简化流程。
