At a recent continuing-education seminar, Dr. Hamilton and her staff pharmacists learned of the potential for a significant interaction between the two medications in question. She was puzzled as to why one of the pharmacists would have told a physician that there are no drug interaction problems with the new drug. Dr. Hamilton and the staff pharmacists are aware that the hospital information technology department has not yet updated the pharmacy department computer system to include this interaction. As she concludes her conversation with Dr. Brown, she promises to find out what happened and take corrective action.

According to Tang Yonchnn [3], computer lab management is part of the Information Technology Department at UC Merced and is responsible for overseeing instructional nse and open-access computer labs. Access to computer labs is granted to currently enrolled stndents, active staff, and faculty. To log on to a computer, you will need to have an active user ID and password. 

Both Microsoft and Google are providing schools with free e-mail for their students, as well as online communications, applications, and storage. Many schools are using the cloud-based networks because they have a low cost and require only limited personnel while providing a service to the school. There are risks associated with the movement to cloud-based e-mail systems. Although it is easy to monitor servers when they are run by internal data centers and are completely under the control of the school s information technology department, it is more difficult when you have little control over servers that are located somewhere in the cloud. Therefore, it is important to measure and analyze not only the performance but also the safety and security of hosted information. It is very important that students understand this and know how to respond to risks.

A truly integrated hospital, Scott White will utilize Siemens healthcare information technology solutions for patient monitoring and for connecting all hospital departments to allow more... 

An implementation group was established to implement the recommendations, which were all accepted in principle. A key recommendation is to pubhsh the Schedule of Pharmaceutical Benefits electronically to enable monthly listing updates. This will require significant upgrading of the department s information technology systems. It will take some time to fully implement all the recommendations. 

An organizational structure should be established to facilitate the qualification of computer systems operating in the GMP environment. The organization should be representative of the departments involved, and would typically include quality management, owner/user department, information technology, and engineering.

One problem with the use of e-mail is its potential lack of security. Employers legally own the e-mail that is delivered to their systems for use by employees. Many information technology (IT) departments routinely monitor e-mail traffic that could contain confidential information. If a pharmacist were to e-mail a patient at work to inform him or her that a refill medication was due, that patients confidentiality could be compromised. Alternatively, if patients were told that new information is posted on their pharmacy s Web page, a browser would give them access to their confidential information behind a secure firewall, which could protect that information from unauthorized access. 

About the Author Dr. Mosavin is Chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacotherapy and Outcomes Science at Loma Linda University s School of Pharmacy. Dr. Mosavin received a B.S. in Pharmacy from the University of Kansas, a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Wisconsin—Madison, and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Dr. Mosavin has experience in pharmaceutical industry, hospital pharmacy, and ambulatory care pharmacy settings. His research interests encompass economic evaluation of health care delivery systems and the role of pharmacists in these systems (especially as it relates to management of chronic diseases by pharmacists). Another key area of his research is analysis of economic gains achieved by health information technology implementation in ambulatory care pharmacy practice.
