Prescribing Safety

The queries will enable practices to examine their current prescribing to identify issues or even systems which might need attention.

safer-prescribing.jpg The queries examine the following topics:

  • Possible inappropriate prescribing in view of a patient’s past medical history.

  • Appropriate monitoring of medications which necessitate regular tests to ensure that they are not causing unintended harm.

  • Potentially overlooking laboratory test results that look for people with biochemical evidence of hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease or diabetes without the relevant diagnostic Read code.

  • Prescribing concurrently two medications which have the potential for a dangerous interaction.

  • Possible inappropriate prescriptions considering a patient’s age.
