Implementing Daily Dosing Rules Using a Commercial Rule Base

摘要

We had previously developed and implemented a pharmacy expert system (DoseRanger) that examines drug orders for appropriate single dosage using a commercial rule base and patient specific information. A set of rule adjustments were described and evaluated in order to reduce clinically insignificant alerts. A similar analysis has been performed for daily dose rules provided by the commercial rule base which demonstrated that analogous techniques will be needed.
