Abstract:OBJECTIVE To perfect China's pediatric knowledge database of rational medication use, to reduce the incidence of medication errors and to improve the safety and effectiveness of medication therapy in children. METHODS Construct the pediatric prescription knowledge database by accessing relevant handbooks, guidelines, online databases and researches, and embed it into the prescription pre-audit intelligent decision system. Based on this, the system could automatically recommend dosage and usage information to the physicians during prescribing, it could also pre-screen and intercept improper medical orders and prescriptions according to different security levels. RESULTS From November 2018 to April 2019, the prescription Pre-audit Intelligent Decision System reviewed a total of 906,945 inpatients orders. Due to the use of the Pediatric Prescription Knowledge Database, the inpatients' precaution, relative contraindication and absolute contraindications orders presented a remarkably decline, from 71.71%, 5.45% and 0.12% respectively, to 35.86%, 3.51% and 0.08%. The physician's fitness to the system and rationality of medication increased month by month. CONCLUSION The use of the Pediatric Prescription Knowledge Database significantly reduces the incidence of medication errors in hospitalized children and improves the level of medical homogenization. It is a medical service model worthy of consideration.
