Impact of Electronic Prescribing on Parkinson’s Disease Medication Management: A Retrospective Before-and-After Audit at a UK Teaching Hospital
Following the implementation of EPR, reductions were observed across several PD medication safety metrics; however, these findings represent observational associations and do not imply direct causation. The results highlight the importance of targeted staff training, early recognition of PD during clerking, and the use of clinical decision-support tools to optimise the safe and effective use of EPR systems in this patient group.
