Abstract
Antimycotics are substances to treat fungal infections, a frequent cause of death on intensive care units. It is of great importance to administer such drugs only to patients who actually need them, since the unnecessary application leads to the selection of multiresistent fungi, making future therapy more difficult, and represents a significant financial burden for the health care system. Within the scope of a prospective study, which analyses the premature discontinuation of the administration of unnecessary antifungal drugs, two software platforms for recruitment support were implemented and compared at the University Hospital Erlangen. Besides technical aspects, such as the necessary development time and query runtimes, their usability and user friendliness for the clinical users were compared. We found that the practical identification of patient cohorts is possible both with a full featured business intelligence application and with a low effort approach based on language constructs of the Arden Syntax. Furthermore, this pilot evaluation led to important insights related to the clinical documentation context and data quality issues. A comprehensive analysis of the clinical environment and documentation context is essential for the final decision on the tool to be used.
