Abstract
In this paper the authors described a computer based
pharmaceutical education information system (PEIS) based on an individual profile of his/her medication records and prescriptions. The PEIS has been developed and installed at Taipei Medical University Wanfang Hospital (TMUWFH) since July 2002. After evaluation on the system, we concluded that the PEIS can help most patients acquire necessary drug information easily, and have a much better understanding of the medication they are applying, the adverse drug reactions, and side-effects. And hence the system can improve patient safety, and lead to better treatment outcomes.
