INTERPOLAR

Project Name: INTERventional POLypharmacy – drug interActions – Risks

Project Category: use case of the Medical Informatics Initiative

Heads of Project:

• Prof. Dr. med. Markus Löffler (Leipzig University)
• Prof. Dr. med. Renke Maas (Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg)
• Prof. Dr. André Scherag (Jena University Hospital)

Duration and Status: 1.1.2023 – 31.12.2026, ongoing data use

Data Types Provided: medication data etc.

Abstract:
The INTERPOLAR use case aims to use an algorithm to identify hospital patients who are at high risk of clinically relevant and manageable medication problems . This allows hospital pharmacists to focus on the patients who will benefit most from their assessment. Expertly selected risk triggers help hospital pharmacists identify patients at high risk for medication problems. This can speed up risk assessment in routine care and focus medication analysis on at-risk patients. Accompanying studies are expected to show that IT-assisted risk assessment significantly reduces the number of medication errors.
