The detection of adverse drug events (ADEs) is an important aspect of improving patient safety. The iMedication system employs predefined triggers associated with significant events in a patient's clinical data to automatically detect possible ADEs. We defined four clinically relevant conditions: hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, renal failure, and over-anticoagulation. These are some of the most relevant ADEs in internal medical and geriatric wards. For each patient, ADE risk scores for all four situations are calculated, compared against a threshold, and judged to be monitored, or reported. A ward-based cockpit view summarizes the results.
