Abstract:
Using MIMS-interactive software-a computerized drug interaction screening program for detecting and classifying drug interactions in 3 clinical departments showed that drug interaction was quite common (the rate medical reports with drug interaction at genito-urinary department was 85.15%, abdominal surgery department was 67.195, cardiovascular surgery department was 78.95%). However most of these had no clinical significance. The rate of drug interaction with clinical significance at genito-urinary department was only 3.48%, abdominal surgery department 7.03%, cardiovascular department 3.29%. Applying software helps doctors find and treat adverse drug interactions timely, which can increase the safety of efficiency of prescriptions, especially for surgical treatment which require rapid and accurate treatment
