OPADE: optimization of drug prescription using advanced informatics.
The computerized drug prescription system (CDPS) is an old, almost obsolete, dream, and numerous researchers have developed prototypes or even full fledged packages. But few systems are currently used in clinical practice. The OPADE project, presented in this paper, aims at developing a computerized system which allows for optimization of drug prescription from a medical, patient compliance and economical point of view; the system will be adapted to different European countries, integrated and customized to local medical practice so as to insure user acceptance.
