| Περίληψη: | Purpose The implementation and maintenance of a process for adding and removing hyperlinks to medication management policies and guidelines approved by a pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee into the electronic health record (EHR) are described. Summary Medication management policies and guidelines approved by the P&T committee are published on the University of Utah Health intranet, making it possible to add hyperlinks to this information within the EHR. Adding these hyperlinks allows policy and guideline information to be available to clinicians on the medication ordering, verification, and administration screens without requiring a separate search of the intranet. In a quality-improvement project, all medication management policies and guidelines posted on the intranet were reviewed for relevance to the medication ordering, verification, and administration processes. Hyperlinks to relevant policies and guidelines were implemented into the EHR for specific medications. At the beginning of the review, 100 unique drugs associated with 1 or more hyperlinks were identified. The hyperlinks referenced a total of 33 Web documents: 8 policies and 25 guidelines. There are 74 medication management policies and 78 medication management guidelines approved by the P&T committee at University of Utah Health. After investigator review, 12 of 74 policies (16%) and 41 of 78 guidelines (53%) were deemed relevant during the medication ordering, verification, and administration processes. The review and hyperlink implementation process took a total of 101 hours. A continual review process was developed to enable addition and removal of hyperlinks as appropriate. Conclusion Providing direct access to relevant medication management policies and guidelines approved by the P&T committee during the medication ordering, verification, and administration processes via hyperlinks in the EHR makes formulary information readily accessible by appropriate staff. These hyperlinks may also improve adherence to formulary information, reduce medication expenditure, and improve safety and therapeutic outcomes of medication therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
