- Abstract
Changes in drug treatment are frequently mandatory with hospital admission and discharge because hospital drug formularies are generally restricted to about 3000 drugs as compared to the many times this number - 62,000 in Germany - that are commercially available. Without computerised support, the process involved with switching drugs to a corresponding generic or a therapeutic equivalent is time-consuming and error-prone.
