Problems of Medication History Taking and Inpatient Prescribing
Taking a patient’s medication history is a critical step in preventing medication errors. However, many hospitals still rely heavily on paper-based processes, which require signatures and manual handoffs between doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. This approach is time-consuming, error-prone, and especially inefficient in hospitals with a high volume of patients.
IsHealth includes a built-in system for medication history taking and inpatient prescribing. All steps can be completed within the HIS, eliminating the need for paper forms and handwritten signatures. Past medication records, allergy information, and treatment history are automatically retrieved and can be quickly shared among multidisciplinary teams. This reduces costs, minimizes errors, and complies with international safety standards.
