1. The PSIP project will apply innovative concepts and methods
to improve the existing knowledge on adverse events by mining the
data repositories of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) or CPOES.
This will allow to tackle the actual ADEs occurring in a given healthcare
environment and to provide the healthcare professionals with a context-dependant
information.
2. The PSIP project will develop contextualized-CDSS modules (Cx-CDSS)
for all four main actors in the medication cycle: the physician
in charge of the decision making and the ordering stage, the pharmacist
in charge of the validation and the dispensing phase, the nurse
in charge of the verification and administration phase, and the
patient who finally receives and ingests (or not!) the drug.
3. The project intends to provide a proof of concept of an independent
CDSS platform to support and secure the medication cycle equally
accessible to various healthcare IT applications such as CPOE, e-prescribing,
HIS, Clinical Information System (CIS), Electronic Health Record
(EHR), etc. whether they are commercially available or locally ("home-grown")
developed.
4. The PSIP project will adopt a Human Factors Engineering approach
to the design of the CDSS system and of its Human Computer Interface.
This particular approach will encourage healthcare professionals
to use the system and minimize the emergence of unexpected technology-induced
negative effects.
The task of UMIT is to
- validate the developed CDSS modules based on a set of test cases
(those test cases will be made available for free for the community),
and
- to evaluate the prospective impact of the developed PSIP solutions
on the quality of care.
