Description
Summary:To evaluate the effect of a clinician-designed digital notification system on the use of intravenous paracetamol during a medication shortage. An in-house digital notification platform was designed through multidisciplinary collaboration. A 4-week pre- and post-implementation methodology was employed to evaluate the effect of the intervention. There was significantly lower use of intravenous paracetamol in the post-implementation period compared to the pre-implementation period (median 80 doses per day, interquartile range 58 to 93, vs 94, interquartile range 83 to 122, P < .001). Multidisciplinary clinician-designed digital notification platforms may assist during times of medication shortage.
