abstract: 'Background: Using information technology for medication management is an
|
|
|
|
opportunity to help physicians to improve the quality of their
|
|
|
|
documentation and communication and ultimately to improve patient care
|
|
|
|
and patient safety. Physician education is necessary to take full
|
|
|
|
advantage of information technology systems. In this trial, we seek to
|
|
|
|
determine the effectiveness of an intensive educational intervention
|
|
|
|
compared with the standard approach in improving information
|
|
|
|
technology-mediated medication management and in reducing potential
|
|
|
|
adverse drug events in the outpatient clinic.
|
|
|
|
Methods/Design: We are conducting a multicenter, cluster randomized
|
|
|
|
controlled trial. The participants are specialists and residents working
|
|
|
|
in the outpatient clinic of internal medicine, cardiology, pulmonology,
|
|
|
|
geriatrics, gastroenterology and rheumatology. The intensive educational
|
|
|
|
intervention is composed of a small-group session and e-learning. The
|
|
|
|
primary outcome is discrepancies between registered medication (by
|
|
|
|
physicians) and actually used medication (by patients). The key
|
|
|
|
secondary outcomes are potential adverse events caused by missed
|
|
|
|
drug-drug interactions. The primary and key secondary endpoints are
|
|
|
|
being assessed shortly after the educational intervention is completed.
|
|
|
|
Sample size will be calculated to ensure sufficient power. A sample size
|
|
|
|
of 40 physicians per group and 20 patients per physician will ensure a
|
|
|
|
power of >90 \%, which means we will need a total of 80 physicians and
|
|
|
|
1,600 patients.
|
|
|
|
Discussion: We performed an exploratory trial wherein we tested the
|
|
|
|
recruitment process, e-learning, time schedule, and methods for data
|
|
|
|
collection, data management and data analysis. Accordingly, we refined
|
|
|
|
the processes and content: the recruitment strategy was intensified,
|
|
|
|
extra measures were taken to facilitate smooth conductance of the
|
|
|
|
e-learning and parts were made optional. First versions of the
|
|
|
|
procedures for data collection were determined. Data entry and analysis
|
|
|
|
was further standardized by using the G-standard database in the
|
|
|
|
telephone questionnaire.'
