Digital Health Technology Interventions for Improving Medication Safety: Systematic Review of Economic Evaluations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medication-related harm, including adverse drug events (ADEs) and medication errors, represents a significant iatrogenic burden in clinical care. Digital health technology (DHT) interventions can significantly enhance medication safety outcomes. Although the clinical effectiveness of DHT for medication safety has been relatively well studied, much less is known about the cost-effectiveness of these interventions.

Objective

This study aimed to systematically review the economic impact of DHT interventions on medication safety and examine methodological challenges to inform future research directions.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted across 3 major electronic databases (ie, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCOhost). The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Sys
