Implementation of a new health information technology for the management of cancer chemotherapies.
Article in European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCancer chemotherapy drugs are classified as high-risk molecules. Safety of the cancer chemotherapy process is often achieved with the implementation of a health information technology to each step or to the entire process. However, computerisation could lead to the emergence of new unintended medication errors. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of new software designed for the management of anticancer chemotherapies.
methodThe cartography of the process and the failure modes, effects and criticality analysis were performed by a multidisciplinary team. Criticality indexes were calculated considering or not the implementation of the commercial software (CytoWeb). Quality and satisfactory indicators were measured before the implementation and during the use of the software.
resultsOur results demonstrated the complexity of the cancer chemotherapy process in the hospital. Risk analysis highlighted the positive impact of CytoWeb on the process safety but pointed out some steps that were not positively influenced by the software. Although a decrease of 38.6% of error rate was observed with the electronic system, new unintended medication errors emerged. These errors were due to inadequate use of the software (encoding of the wrong drug, the wrong dose, the wrong patient parameters or lab results and lack of prescriber adherence). Our satisfaction survey showed that the hospital pharmacists and doctors were less satisfied by the software than the nurses, mostly in terms of task achievement and time saving. Survey's results highlighted some weaknesses in the user training and in the collaboration between the medical staff.
conclusionsOur work showed the emergence of unintended medication errors linked to computerisation that were due to an inadequate use of the software. Other issues were highlighted such as the lack of collaboration between the medical staff, the lack of prescriber implication and weaknesses in the user training or in the information related to CytoWeb.
