- Abstract
Current pharmacosurveillance methods do not provide timely information on drug safety and effectiveness. Real-time surveillance using electronic prescribing systems could address this problem; however, the data collected using these systems has not been validated. We investigated the accuracy of using orders for drug discontinuation and dose change in an electronic prescribing system as a potential source of information for drug safety and effectiveness.
