摘要：

Purpose: To manage medication treatment and to assure medication safety, health care professionals need a complete overview of all drugs that have been prescribed or are taken by a patient. In 2009, Austria launched the pilot project "e-Medikation" in three pilot regions. E-Medikation gives access to a patient's nationwide medication list and includes medication safety checks. The objective of this paper is to report on the evaluation results and lessons learnt. Methods: A formative evaluation study performed between July and December 2011 comprised a standardized survey of participating physicians, pharmacists, and patients, as well as an analysis of the e-Medikation log files. Results: During the evaluation period, 18,310 prescriptions and 13,797 dispensings were documented, and 22,359 medication safety checks were performed. Overall, 61 physicians, 68 pharmacists, and 553 patients responded to a written survey. The results showed high acceptance of the idea of e-Medikation among pharmacists and patients and mixed acceptance among physicians. The satisfaction with the quality of the software used in the pilot project was low. Conclusions: The overall aim to increase medication safety seems achievable through e-Medikation, but several limitations of the pilot project need to be solved before a national rollout. Based on the evaluation results and after redesign of e-Medikation, Austria is now planning a nationwide introduction of e-Medikation starting in 2015. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
