PSIP - Patient Safety through Intelligent Procedures in medication

The project Patient Safety through Intelligent Procedures in Medication (PSIP) deals with Adverse Drug Events (ADE) due to product safety problems and medication errors due to Human Factors (HF) which are a major issue in public health. They endanger the patients’ safety and originate considerable extra hospital costs.

Healthcare ICT applications should help to reduce the incidence of preventable ADE, by providing the healthcare professionals and patients with relevant knowledge.

The objective of PSIP is in fact to: facilitate the systematic production of epidemiological knowledge on ADE and to ameliorate the entire medication cycle in hospitals. The project can be considered iterative as with the enhancing of knowledge from the previous WP the CDSS’ will be updated.
