【 摘 要 】

With an increasing older population in Germany and the need for polypharmacy to treat multimorbid patients computer-assisted decision making on an individual level is increasingly important to reduce prescription errors and adverse drug reactions. While current systems focus on guidelines and prescribing information, molecular information is equally important for explanation and discovery of drug-related problems. Based on the existing KALIS system and newer projects like PIMBase, a new concept for the KALIS-2 system is presented. Improvements to the modularisation of components enable future extension and greater maintainability. Interoperability with available electronic health records standards and protocols allows the integration and communication with existing workflows for healthcare professionals. Finally, new visualisation modes empower the user to explore and analyze the patient situation in an individual patient subgraph. For offline use and dialogue between patient and general practitioner, the results can be printed out using a new reporting tool. The adherence to findings from previous decision support systems and reasons for their failed adoption is an important task in the development of KALIS-2.
