| Summary: | Objective: The study aimed to develop a database system related to high alert intravenous medications (HAIM).
Material and Methods: It is an applied survey research. There were four steps in the development of the high alert intravenous medication database system (HAIMDS) including; collecting data from primary, secondary, tertiary, and online resources, designing the system, developing the system, and developing a questionnaire to assess attitudes to the system. All four steps were conducted via a research team. This system targeted health workers involved in HAIM preparation and administration. Fifteen clinical pharmacists from various hospital in Ubon Ratchathani participated in a study. Each pharmacist completed a questionnaire about their use of and attitudes to the system. All data were analyzed via descriptive statistical analysis.
Results: The database system involved ten medications. The clinical pharmacists’ attitudes to the system were generally positive and valuable sugestions were made.
Conclusion: A new database system; HAIMDS was developed. Some positive attitudes toward HAIMDS both website and database system were addressed. It is also suggested that further evaluations address the effects of the implementation of such a database system on changes in the number and/or nature of errors made by hospital staff during preparation. |
