Abstract

Objective The aim of this study is to investigate how healthcare practitioners use real-time prescription monitoring tools in clinical practice. Methods An online survey was distributed to Australian prescribers and pharmacists who use a real-time prescription monitoring tool. Data were analysed and descriptive statistics summarised participant characteristics and responses. A Chi-squared test was conducted to test the difference between prescribers and pharmacists. Results The majority of participants agreed that real-time prescription monitoring (RTPM) information is useful (92.2%) and the tool is valuable for informing clinical decisions (90.2%); however, just over half reported that they had changed their prescribing or dispensing practices as a result of RTPM information (51.0%), and they employed evidence-based clinical interventions to varying degrees. No statistically significant differences were detected between pharmacists and prescribers and perceptions on tool use. Conclusions This is the first known study to investigate practitioner use of RTPM tools in Australia, and is a starting point for further research. What constitutes 'success' in the clinical application of RTPM tools is yet to be realised.

医疗保健从业者使用实时处方监测工具的更正:一项在线调查。

目的本研究的目的是调查医疗从业人员如何在临床实践中使用实时处方监测工具。方法对使用实时处方监测工具的澳大利亚处方医师和药剂师进行在线调查。对数据进行分析，描述性统计总结了参与者的特征和反应。采用卡方检验检验处方医师与药师的差异。结果大多数参与者认为实时处方监测(RTPM)信息是有用的(92.2%)，该工具对告知临床决策有价值(90.2%);然而，只有一半以上的人报告说，由于RTPM信息(51.0%)，他们改变了处方或配药做法，他们在不同程度上采用了循证临床干预措施。在药剂师和处方医师以及对工具使用的认知之间没有统计学上的显著差异。这是已知的第一个调查澳大利亚从业者使用RTPM工具的研究，是进一步研究的起点。在RTPM工具的临床应用中，什么是“成功”还有待实现。

期刊介绍： Australian Health Review is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes contributions on all aspects of health policy, management and governance; healthcare delivery systems; workforce; health financing; and other matters of interest to those working in health care. In addition to analyses and commentary, the journal publishes original research from practitioners – managers and clinicians – and reports of breakthrough projects that demonstrate better ways of delivering care. Australian Health Review explores major national and international health issues and questions, enabling health professionals to keep their fingers on the pulse of the nation’s health decisions and to know what the most influential commentators and decision makers are thinking. Australian Health Review is a valuable resource for managers, policy makers and clinical staff in health organisations, including government departments, hospitals, community centres and aged-care facilities, as well as anyone with an interest in the health industry. Australian Health Review is published by CSIRO Publishing on behalf of the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association.
