| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Background: According to WHO; incidence of prescription in under five children are still common and potentially maybe three times more common in pediatrics than in adult population. Medication error which is caused by prescribing error during prescription is a great concern to health professional and medical institutions especially errors involving children. Although electronic medical record is efficient, and knowing the importance of under-five group of children we do not know if there is the disease of prescription after post emergency for under-five attending Bugando medical centre clinics.<br/><br/>Objective: The aim of this study was to compare prescription errors pre and post electronic medical records system, of under-five children attending Bugando medical centre clinics in Nyamagana district Mwanza. <br/><br/>Methods: In this study retrospective cross-sectional study involving 1000 prescriptions both before and after EMR was employed. <br/><br/>Results: Total 1000 of prescriptions were included in the study where by 500 participants were before electronic medical records and 500 prescriptions were after introduction of electronic medical records among under five children admitted at Bugando medical centre. This study has found that, before EMR the prescription errors to under five admitted at Bugando medical centre was 3007/8500 (35.38%) and each prescription there were more than one error and prescription errors of 713/7500 (9.51%) after EMR among 7500 items, results showed that in few prescriptions there were more than one prescription error according to the items which is important to be filled in the prescription form. The results from this study revealed that, the prescription error after introduction of EHS in Bugando had been decreased by 25.87% from 35.38% before EMR and 9.51 after EMR. <br/><br/>Conclusion and recommendations: Though introduction of EMR has decreased prescription errors among underfive children admitted at Bugando medical centre by 25.87% from 35.38% before EMR to 9.51% after EMR, the system is still allowing forgery for some patient’s information. We recommend the Electronic health system should be modified so as cannot allow any into electronic health system. Also government and other NGO’s should provide support to other health facilities which does not have EMR to make sure that they using it. <br/> |
