The smart medical compliance method and system invention prevents adverse drug events through the use of protocols that uniquely identifies the patient, care provider, medication and / or medical device that is to be used with radio frequency identification (RFID). The RFID devices incorporate fail-safe locks or indicators that prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized use of medication, medical devices, or medical supplies. The system corroborates, patient, the care provider, the medical device, and the manner in which it is to be used, and authorizes the action to be undertaken through an interface on a personal digital assistant PDA over a wireless communication channel. The system also timestamps events in the equivalent of a medical black box such that records may be kept to further improve patient care and allow an analysis of procedures. In addition, the system includes interfaces to medication preparation and safe disposal. A number of smart devices that interact with the system are also described. These include smart medical containers, smart clamps, smart valves, smart syringes, smart couplers, smart pipettes, and a host of other point of care devices.

The present invention is a system and method for anticipating potential Adverse Drug Events (ADE) in a patient's medication regimen by integrating data typically located in laboratory and pharmacy information systems and filtering the data using predefined criteria. The present invention includes a system for anticipating a possible ADE through the use of a search engine that compares integrated data from laboratory and pharmacy information systems and compares it to predefined ADE rules defining normal ranges for a particular laboratory test. If an abnormal test value is received and a drug in the patient's medication regimen satisfies a drug included in an ADE rule then an alert procedure is triggered which allows for a period of time wherein the patient's lab and pharmacy data is monitored in order to determine if a proper corrective action is undertaken, and if no corrective action or an improper corrective action is taken within that period of time, the healthcare provider is warned of a potential ADE.

A method and apparatus for counteracting adverse drug events (ADE's) which are caused by the administration of intravenous medications of incorrect types, concentrations or dosages, and which may result in morbidity and even mortality to recipient patients. A container, preferably in the nature of a transparent plastic bag employed for intravenous administrations, contains the requisite infusion at a prescribed volume, adding a specified amount of prescribed medication possessing a predefined amount of a coloring material, such as a vegetable dye, to the volume of infusion material or liquid in order to form a prescribed concentration of medication, with the coloring material defining a specific type of medication. Analyzing of the concentration of medication is effected through the utilization of spectrophotometric equipment, and to resultingly obtain a real medication concentration value. Thereafter, a comparison is carried out between the real or actual and the prescribed medication concentration values, and an indicator, such as a label or the like, is generated for placement on the intravenous container which is indicative of the type and verified concentration of the medication in the infusion. This procedure, in effect, by being implemented at the pharmacy level, provides for medication and concentration verification prior to administering the medication intravenously to a patient, and by verifying the presence of the indicator on the intravenous (IV) container, or by using a spectrophotometer at a nurse station in order to again verify the medication and its concentration as a check or safeguard preceding administration thereof to the patient.

An algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention provides for latent signal detection of adverse events. Embodiments infer the presence of adverse drug events from large observational databases housed by the FDA, WHO, and other governmental organizations. The disclosed algorithms do not require the adverse event to be reported explicitly. Instead, the algorithms infer the presence of adverse events through more common secondary effects. In an embodiment, machine learning techniques are used for this purpose.

The invention discloses an accurate prediction method for a tacrolimus dosage of an organ transplantation patient. The method comprises the following steps: collecting model establishment data including but not limited to patient personal data, tacrolimus clinical medication data based on the organ transplantation patient and gene detection data; carrying out management and statistical analysis on the collected model establishment data; and establishing a tacrolimus dosage model for organ transplantation based on the model establishment data, wherein the model establishment comprises data arrangement, basic structure model, covariable incorporation and model verification. The tacrolimus accurate dosage prediction mathematical model helps clinically and accurately predict the initial medication dosage and dosage adjustment scheme of an individual patient, reduces toxic and side effects caused by too large tacrolimus dosage or the risk of rejection caused by too low tacrolimus dosage of the patient, reduces the occurrence rate of acute rejection reaction and reduces adverse drug events. The prediction method has important significance on accurate application of immunosuppressive drugs for organ transplantation patients; meanwhile, has good economic benefits and social benefits.

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.
