  • Detection of adverse reactions to medication using a communications network
    Patent number: 8473315
    Abstract: A method for detecting an adverse drug event in a patient. The method includes reading an adverse drug reaction (ADR) description of the patient, reading identifiers for medications currently taken by the patient, and accessing ADR records corresponding to the identifiers. Each record comprises an identifier for a medication, an ADR description for the medication and a risk profile for the medication. Next, the method compares the ADR description of the patient with ADR descriptions in the ADR records, identifies an ADR record with a matching ADR description and calculates a level of risk that a medication of the ADR record is causing the ADR description of the patient. Finally, the method transmits an identifier and a risk profile for each medication of the ADR record, and a notice indicating that each medication of the ADR record may be causing the ADR description of the patient.
