This paper summarizes recent advances in computer-based pharmacy information systems for both hospitalized and ambulatory patients. It discusses the clinical pharmacy applications of: pharmacokinetic modeling (which allows for the optimization of patient-specific dosage regimens); drug interaction and adverse drug therapy monitoring (to decrease therapeutic problems); intravenous additive and
hyperalimentation
programs (to aid in formulating complex solutions);
drug usage
review (to develop and utilize guidelines for appropriate prescribing); drug information services; and drug distribution systems. Administrative and management control systems are briefly described. Automated label preparation and identification of patient noncompliance with physician-directed therapy are also described. The advantages of a computerized integrated hospital information system are also discussed.

A national survey of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) was undertaken to obtain information concerning
drug usage
, dosages, methods of administration, incidence of drug-induced phlebitis, and drug reference sources. Antimicrobial agents are the most frequently used drugs in NICUs. Dosages reported by NICUs generally agreed with dosage recommendations by the manufacturer and literature citations. A 10% estimate of phlebitis was the consensus report by NICUs. Calcium gluconate was implicated most often as causing phlebitis, and most NICUs reported that drugs are not mixed with
hyperalimentation
solutions. The Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee should review drug dosages in neonates and establish policies for intravenous drug administration methods and rates to ensure uniform initial doses and to provide a consensus among clinicians using these medications.
