Aplication of drugs based on telephone orders
Ptáčková, Eva ; Prošková, Eva (advisor) ; Hocková, Jana (referee)
The topic of this work is the administration of medicine following a face-to-face and telephone madication-related orders at hospitals. The methods used in the theoretic part of this work included both discussions with representatives of health care providers and the analysis of documents. Based on the description and analysis of the set-up of verbal madication-related orders as featured in the accreditation standards of four healthcare accreditation organisations and internal rules of five hospitals, the author of this work seeks to identify any possible risk elements of verbal orders, and to propose ways how to modify such parts of standards and rules so as to make the verbal ordination less risky. Whether or not the verbal medication-related orders at hospitals is a lege artis procedur depends first of all on the situation in which the verbal order is issued, on the authorization or qualifications of health employees who are involved in the implementation of such verbal order, and on the strict observance of procedures concerning the communication (including its recording into the medical documentation). Although verbal madication-related order represents risk arising from the ordinance's communication, forensic, or specialist consequence, no greater attention has been paid to them so far. There...
