Abstract
A feasibility study was conducted to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of the “Safe medication through pharmacovigilance and compliance monitoring (PharmacoV)” service, an Internet-based interactive information tool that assists physicians in identifying potential Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) or contraindications when they are prescribing medicinal products to patients. The users' perception was assessed by the means of a structured questionnaire containing Likert type responses ranging from 1 to 5. Five hundred eighty nine (n=589) healthcare professionals were enrolled during an eight (8) month trial of the service in London, UK during 2007. The vast majority of the healthcare professionals who participated in the study was very enthusiastic about the PharmacoV concept and perceived clear benefits in terms of accessing drug information. The authors' results suggest that a well-designed intervention study is possible. This will allow the evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of the intervention in the context of the different European healthcare systems, and may gradually shape an optimal health care system. Their study is limited to the specific extend that the pilot trial of the service could not be implemented as part of the routine clinical practice of the participating physicians mainly because of the need to continuously update the service functionality during the execution of the study.
