It is beneficial for health care institutions to monitor physician prescribing patterns to ensure that high-quality and cost-effective care is being provided to patients. However, detecting treatment patterns within an institution is challenging, given that medications and conditions are often not explicitly linked in the health record. Here we demonstrate the use of statistical methods together with data from the electronic health care record (EHR) to analyze prescribing patterns at an institution.

Database containing information on marketed medicines and their recorded adverse drug reactions. The information is extracted from public documents and package inserts. The available information include side effect frequency, drug and side effect classifications as well as links to further information, for example drug-target relations. The SIDER Side Effect Resource represents an effort to aggregate dispersed public information on side effects. To our knowledge, no such resource exist in machine-readable form despite the importance of research on drugs and their effects. The creation of this resource was motivated by the many requests for data that we received related to our paper (Campillos, Kuhn et al., Science, 2008, 321(5886):263-6.) on the utilization of side effects for drug target prediction. Inclusion of side effects as readouts for drug treatment should have many applications and we hope to be able to enhance the respective research with this resource. You may browse the drugs by name, browse the side effects by name, download the current version of SIDER, or use the search interface.
View all literature mentionsWikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 19 million articles (over 3.6 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site. As of July 2011, there were editions of Wikipedia in 282 languages. Wikipedia was launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger and has become the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet, ranking around seventh among all websites on Alexa and having 365 million readers. The name Wikipedia was coined by Larry Sanger and is a combination of wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning quick) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia''s departure from the expert-driven style of encyclopedia building and the large presence of unacademic content has been noted several times. Some have noted the importance of Wikipedia not only as an encyclopedic reference but also as a frequently updated news resource because of how quickly articles about recent events appear. Although the policies of Wikipedia strongly espouse verifiability and a neutral point of view, critics of Wikipedia accuse it of systemic bias and inconsistencies (including undue weight given to popular culture), and allege that it favors consensus over credentials in its editorial processes. Its reliability and accuracy are also targeted. A 2005 investigation in Nature showed that the science articles they compared came close to the level of accuracy of Encyclopedia Britannica and had a similar rate of serious errors.

View all literature mentionsOntology that provides a normalized naming system for generic and branded drugs and a tool for supporting semantic interoperation between drug terminologies and pharmacy knowledge base systems. It contains the names of prescription and many over-the-counter drugs available in the United States and links its names to many of the drug vocabularies commonly used in pharmacy management and drug interaction software. It can mediate messages between systems not using the same software and vocabulary. * RxNorm Download Files - contain data consistent with the 2013AB UMLS Metathesaurus Release Files. * RxNorm API - web service for accessing the current RxNorm data set. * RxNorm Browser (RxNav) - a browser for several drug information sources, including RxNorm, RxTerms and National Drug File - Reference Terminology (NDF-RT) . * Current Prescribable Content - subset of currently prescribable drugs found in RxNorm. * RxTerms Drug Interface Terminology - a drug interface terminology derived from RxNorm for prescription writing or medication history recording
