Overview
Drug-related iatrogenesis is a major public health issue, accounting for a significant proportion of adverse events and hospitalizations in emergency departments. Optimizing prescription management in this context is critical to improve both patient safety and physician efficiency This study aims to evaluate the impact of the POSOS AI-driven device on the medical time required for prescription management in polymedicated patients admitted to emergency departments. The main objective is to establish whether the use of POSOS can reduce transcription time compared to standard electronic management.
Interventions
- Other current hospital-standard databases
Prescription management using current hospital-standard databases and tools - Device Posos
Prescription management supported by POSOS device (OCR+AI) for structured data entry and clinical decision support
Primary outcome measures
- Medical time required for the transcription of prescriptions [Time frame: Day 1]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Number of drug-related problems (DRPs) identified per patient [Time frame: day 1]
- Proportion and type of transcription errors (medication name or dosage) [Time frame: day 1]
- Identification of DRPs by subtype and severity [Time frame: day 1]
- Rate of reconciled medication histories and structured documentation [Time frame: day 1]
- Time delays between triage, anamnesis, and diagnosis [Time frame: day 1]
- Length of emergency department stay and downstream hospitalizations [Time frame: day 1]
- Readmission rates [Time frame: at 3 months]
- Overall survival [Time frame: at 6 months]
- Mapping of DRPs by subtype and severity [Time frame: day 1]
