Description
Researchers study a prescription review system at a Shanghai specialty hospital in 2026. The system screens orders before they are filled and flags those that look unsound. In one year it flagged about 124,000 of more than 2.5 million orders at an eye and ear, nose, and throat hospital.
About a third of flagged orders were stopped in full, and the sound-order rate rose after stopped orders were removed. Hard stops worked far more often than soft warnings. Dose and amount flaws were stopped most, while wrong-use flaws slipped through most. Pharmacist rule tweaks sharply raised catch rates for one spray drug.
