Extenting a hostpital information system with a clinical decision support system for drug interactions

  • There are many drug interactions and to know every single interaction is impossible. In Uganda, a country located in East Africa, patients often do not get a patient information leflaet when a physician prescribes drugs because they only get the drugs without packaging and information inside. Even in developed countries many poeple die because of drug interactions. This work aims at developing a clinical decision support system for different kinds of drug interactions: 1) drug-drug interaction, 2) drug-food interactions, 3) drug-condition interactions and 4) drug-disease interactions. This system must be integrated into an existing hospital information system called electronic Health Management Information System (eHMIS). In the first part of this thesis different kinds of clinical decision support systems are described to find out which one is the best for eHMIS. The two different types are knowledge-based and non knowledge-based systems. The second part of this thesis, the data base of eHMIS is extended to have a full knowledge base for the new module which contains drug-drug interactions, drug-food interactions, drug-disease interactions as well as drug-condition interactions. Therefore new tables were created and filled with data of several data bases with drug interactions. The last part is about designing the clinical decision support system for drug interactions with the knowledge base of eHMIS, including the implementation considering the integration into the existing system. To know how health professionals in Uganda work with an electronical health system as well as their other work ows was important. The system now runs in a hospital in Kampala, the capital of Uganda and in a health center level three in Mifumi, a village located in the east of the country.
