Abstract:
Antibiotics being currently the most extensively used medicine in clinical practice and abuse of them being prevalent, it is thus necessary to monitor in an effective and systematic manner the rational use of them. Based on the existing database and network of hospital information system, a monitoring system for the rational use of antibiotics was successfully developed using the development tool of PowerBuild. This functionally powerful and easy-to-use system, which provides comprehensive and reliable information, improved work efficiency and managerial level by automatically monitoring many chief indicators of antibiotic usage, including dosage, resistance, combination with other drugs, course, pathway, usage during the perioperative period, usage for preventive purposes, therapeutic effect, and the ratio of hospital infection occurrence resulting from the use of antibiotics under different circumstances.
