In-Hospital Prescription Checking System for Hospitalized Patients with Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate.

We demonstrated that a prescription audit by hospital pharmacists using the PCS reduced the rate of dosage errors in the target renally excreted drugs in hospitalized patients. Although further studies are needed to confirm whether our results can be generalized to other health facilities, our findings highlight the need for a PCS to prevent the overdose of renally excreted drugs.
