Using Big Data and Deep Neural Network to Prevent Medication Errors

Medication errors are common, life-threatening, costly but preventable. Information technology and automated systems are highly efficient for preventing medication errors and therefore widely employed in hospital settings. In this study, investigators would perform a cluster randomized controlled trial of a clinical reminding system that uses DNN and Probabilistic models to detect and notify physicians of inappropriate prescriptions, giving them the opportunity to correct these gaps and increase prescriptions completeness. This study aim is to assess whether or not this system would improve prescription notation for a broad array of patient conditions.
