Abstract

Missed Parkinson's disease (PD) medications when patients are admitted to hospital are associated with increased -morbidity and mortality. Swallowing difficulties in hospitalised PD patients are common and should prompt clinicians to -consider conversion of a patient's PD medications to a non-oral form - this is, however, recognised as a challenging area with potential for error. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's PD service set out to address this patient safety issue through the development of an innovative online medication -calculator (pdmedcalc.co.uk). This article summarises the development process underpinning the calculator, presents numerical data on the usage of the calculator and presents survey data -relating to user experiences of the calculator. Lastly, we highlight how user feedback has been used to refine subsequent iterations of the calculator and how use of the calculator has rapidly spread beyond our trust because of it being freely accessible online.

开发一种创新的在线药物计算器，用于口服无药的帕金森病患者。

患者入院时错过帕金森病（PD）药物会增加发病率和死亡率。住院的帕金森病患者吞咽困难很常见，应该促使临床医生考虑将患者的帕金森病药物转换为非口服形式，然而，这被认为是一个具有挑战性的领域，可能会出现错误。诺森布里亚医疗保健NHS基金会信托基金会的PD服务旨在通过开发创新的在线药物计算器（pdmedcalc.co.uk）来解决这一患者安全问题。本文总结了计算器的开发过程，提供了计算器使用的数字数据，并提供了与计算器用户体验相关的调查数据。最后，我们强调了用户反馈是如何被用来改进计算器的后续迭代的，以及计算器的使用是如何迅速超出我们的信任范围的，因为它可以在网上免费访问。
