Study Notes
Introduction to Pharmacy Informatics
- Informatics is the study of best practices for information accrual, handling, dissemination, and comprehension using suitable technology
- Informatics considers not just the technology, but also its use, reasons, places, and timing
Pharmacy Informatics Definition and Related Terms
- Pharmacy informatics uses information science and technology to improve pharmacy practice
- Medical informatics improves medical knowledge and care quality
- Bioinformatics analyses biological information using computers
Importance of Pharmacy Informatics
- Pharmacy informatics improves patient care by using information technology
- Pharmacists use knowledge of information systems to enhance medication use
- Informatics systems improve drug safety and effectiveness
- Medication-use processes use information technology across all stages
Pharmacy Informatics Activities and Applications
- Computer systems manage patient drug profiles and histories allowing easier care management
- Systems support label generation, patient billing, and workload processing
- Software interfaces enable direct flow of patient data to the pharmacy system (reducing manual input)
- Interfaces to laboratory systems facilitate easy patient lab results retrieval
- System rules promote safe and effective drug use
- Interfaces with other devices (IV compounders, dispensing cabinets, robots) enhance pharmacy efficiency
