Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact level of dosing alerts based on the clinical decision support system (CDSS) in Friendship Hospital. Subject and method: A retrospective cross-sectional study collected data on dosing alerts reported for patients at Friendship Hospital during the last six months of 2022 at Friendship Hospital. Result: A total of 6006 dosing alerts were documented. The prescriptions that triggered dosing alerts when ordered accounted for 1.7%. Among the alerts, 52.1% were recommended to avoid certain medications due to patients’ kidney function. There were 24 departments that recorded alerts when prescribing, most of which were in the Internal Departments. The substances that triggered dosing alerts most frequently were: trimetazidine, alfuzosin, rosuvastatin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and metformin. The acceptance rate of dosing alerts was 34.1%. Conclusion: Dosing alerts based on CDSS displayed potential for reducing the rate of inappropriate drug-dose prescriptions. However, strategies to enhance the acceptance rate of alerts among clinicians are necessary.
