Effect of a closed-loop medication order executive system on safe medication administration at a tertiary hospital: a quasi-experimental study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Closed-loop electronic medication management systems are effective measures for preventing medication errors (MEs). However, there is limited evidence supporting this, and few studies have evaluated the long-term effects of these systems on safe medication.

Objective

To evaluate the long-term effects of implementing a closed-loop medication order executive system on the safe clinical use of medications.

Design

A quasi-experimental design.

Method

Data from 2017 to 2023 were extracted and retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome indicator was the ME rate. Secondary outcome indicators were the accuracy of order verification and patient identification and the implementation rate of fresh medicine dispensing. The autoregressive integrated moving aver
