Database of medicines in the paediatric population CzechPharmPed

Publication

Abstract

This project is the first effort to create a database in the Czech Republic according to EBM, namely for the most used drugs used in paediatric population in the Czech Republic (and possibly Slovakia) and is governed by the rules of implemented research for the purpose of its wider use in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. After the mutual consensus of the Commercialization Council, the authors agreed on the result of 1x Others (website with a database for the most frequently used medicines in the paediatric population in the Czech Republic and Slovakia) and 1x Others (prescriber=calculator) The database (CzechPharmPed) system is based on PHP and MySQL technologies, enabling easy expansion and deployment on a wide range of servers in the future, including the possibility of deployment on scalable servers with a upstream Load Balancer server. The choice of a specific server solution will be based on a more detailed analysis of the frequency and structure of server requests but will primarily be focused on the possibility of easy scalability in case of higher loads. The user interface is designed as a web-based, user-friendly, reflecting current UI standards. CSS and JavaScript technologies were used for the implementation phase, communication ensured using a secure HTTPS connection, using HTTP

2.0 technology. The graphic design was finalized and approved in the fourth quarter. This was followed by ordering hosting, registering the domains www.pharmped.cz and www.pharmped.sk. Furthermore, the development and deployment of the test database on the server was carried out. After debugging and dealing with comments, a sharp version of the database was launched (recently for the model drug paracetamol) will be part of the manual standard operation procedure plan (SOP). The expected benefit of the above results is

1. Optimizing the dosage of drugs for neonates and children in the Czech Republic and in the future in Slovakia (evaluation of the use of literary resources and the distribution of EBM resources among users before and after the implementation of the database)

2. Simplification of the dosing process: professional and lay public (statistical parameters of usability and sustainability of the database)

3. Prevention of errors in prescription

4. Cost benefit with regard to quality parameters of care for paediatric patients (wide distribution in hospital and outpatient daily clinical practice. Cooperation with SÚKL and the IPLP electronic prescription https://iplprecept.cz/ is a freely available database of recipes for individually prepared medicinal products (IPLP, magistraliter) which is intended for prescribing doctors, pharmacists and pharmaceutical assistants (The database iplprecept.cz is available to all "experts according to §2a of Act No. 40/1995 Coll., i.e., persons authorized to prescribe or dispense medicinal products").
