藥物錯誤事件層出不窮,一直是各種醫療糾紛事件最煩惱的問題。藥品具有音義類似的名稱,導致一些調劑的錯誤,繼續威脅著患者的健康。雲端運算為當代資訊技術帶來一系列的創新與挑戰,利用虛擬化以及自動化等技術來結合網路上的各種運算資源,提供分散式運算系統的能力,有效率地存取資料庫,使有意義的醫療訊息在各節點進行交流。本研究的目的是針對藥名相似藥品之給藥異常探討預防措施,以Google 提供的雲端運算開發環境Google App Engine為平台,藉由相關文獻探討及衛生署現有的藥品名稱及規格,利用雲端上的龐大運算能力、資料庫,發展出一個提供豐富及正確的內容的醫藥資訊網站,並期望透過本系統達到正確的用藥指導,民眾迅速獲得藥品相關使用資訊,提升藥品的治療效果及提升用藥安全,依據研究提供給醫療藥劑部門藥物資訊系統架構的參考。
The incident of medication errors emerges in an endless stream. It has been a most worried medical mistreatment at all time. Medicines with names that sound and/or look alike tend to lead to medication errors, and continue to threaten patients’ health. Cloud computing brings a series of innovation and challenges for contemporary information technology. It makes use of technology such as virtualization and automation to provide the efficient way to access database, thus meaningful medical information is able to make exchange on internet. The purpose of this research is to develop a prevention system based on Google App Engine. Through the discussion of related references, and drug product specifications in the Department of Health, a drug-information system is developed by taking advantage of cloud computing capacity. Hopefully the medications safety is improved. The patients get the best medication treatment. People make quick access to the drug information. The suggestion collected from this research is offered to the medicine department of hospital for future practical reference.
