Objective: To construct and apply the intelligent prompt system for rational drug use information in children’s hospital

so that clinicians

nurses and pharmacists can more conveniently

quickly and accurately query drug information and obtain key tips of drug use risk when working in the clinic. Methods: An intelligent prompt system for rational drug use information was constructed

and special function modules for children were added. SPSS 22. 0 software was used to compare and analyze the proportion of irrational prescriptions/ medical orders before and after application of the system. Meanwhile

the number and types of key tips for pharmaceutical risks provided by the system were counted. Results: After the intelligent prompt system for rational drug use information was put into operation

the proportion of irrational prescriptions/ medical orders decreased significantly

from 20. 09% to 6. 36% at the initial stage of operation

and to 2. 68% in the stable stage. Compared with the same period in 2020

the proportion of irrational prescriptions/ medical orders in 2021 decreased significantly

from 20. 09% to 5. 46% (P<0. 05). After application of the system

a total of 5

192 items of risk information were provided

including 220 items (4. 24%) of high-risk information (red)

1

458 items (28. 08%) of medium-risk information (yellow) and 3

514 items (67. 68%) of low-risk information (orange). Among them

the dosage information of children was the most

totally 2

827 items ( 54. 45%)

followed by adverse drug reaction information

totally 917 items ( 17. 66%). Conclusion: The application of intelligent prompt system for rational drug use information in children’ s hospital can provide accurate pharmaceutical information service for the clinic

improve the work efficiency of medical staff and the rational rate of prescriptions/ medical orders

reduce medication errors

and promote the level of rational drug use in hospitals.
