Introduction
Modern medicine has the property of versatility and universality, so the history of helping a new patient in a given clinic is usually recorded in electronic databases. At the same time, not all medical organizations, even in developed countries, have established a universal network that allows various specialized physicians from different parts of the world to conduct anamnesis of the patient. Lack of understanding of the overall clinical picture may lead to prescription medications being ineffective or even harmful to a patient’s health. Therefore, one of the goals of the NPSG, “use medicines safely,” is applicable in the attached article.
Use Medicines Safely
The use of the NPSG target is because there is an urgent need to create a quality and useful database for patients undergoing LTPAC. Postoperative care is closely linked to drug intake, but if a patient’s body does not perceive the active substance or responds in a specific way, the creation, storage, and updating of the list of such substances are of increased medical value (Arellano, 2014). NPSG.03.06.01 guarantees that medications taken by patients throughout LTPAC will not create conditions for ineffective treatment and rehabilitation.
Strategies
Evidently, the problem of providing quality medical care is not an abstract one, so the clinical organization should take several steps to prevent the unplanned taking of drugs not registered under the NPSG goal. Therefore, first of all, a patient with a diagnosis should undergo rapid testing to identify the level of susceptibility to drugs. In addition, doctors need to keep a strict record of all prescription medications in an electronic database in order for each participant in the treatment to have access. This task can be realized by using CPOE, acting as a doctor, in order to reduce medical errors when prescribing drugs for the patient. In general, it should be noted that with the help of CPOE software, clinical organizations can save the time of data transfer between structural units and most fully ensure the completeness of patients’ medical information (EMR). Finally, if a patient refuses to take a particular drug during an LTPAC course, or if the patient’s body detects incompatibility, this fact must be recorded in the database.
