How difficult is it to get ahold of information about medications?
Drug information is perceived as fragmented, especially for multidose and transition between health levels. This worries doctors and nurses.
I hope people are preparing for the arrival of the patient medication list. You can change your working practices and tidy up your lists now. I also hope that people recognise the benefits of the changes that are coming.
In preparation for the introduction of the patient medication list in Norway, we have investigated the relationship between patient safety and accurate, up-to-date drug information.
Advisor Bo Wang and senior researcher Unn Sollid Manskow at the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research have mapped doctors‘ and nurses’ experiences of how access to pharmaceutical information works within the current digital systems in primary and specialist health services, as well as identifying perceived obstacles.
You can hear more about the results of the study on the recording, but we can reveal keywords such as resource fragmentation, accountability and alignment.
