Design and application of intelligent assist order system for parenteral nutrition / 中华临床营养杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop an intelligent assist order system for parenteral nutrition and embed it into hospital information system,so as to facilitate rational prescription of parenteral nutrition.Methods Comprehensive database,knowledge base and control system of parenteral nutrition orders were set up based on production rule.An intelligent assist order system for parenteral nutrition was designed and developed.Individual energy demand of patients were calculated automatically and compared with doctors' orders of parenteral nutrition.Cation concentration was calculated automatically and controlled for the stability of all-in-one parenteral nutrition admixture.Results This system achieved successful and fast calculation of individual energy demand,over-standard warning of total energy,the ratios of carbohydrates to lipids and non-protein calories to nitrogen,ion concentration,and liquid volume.It also controlled the cation concentration,thus avoiding demulsification.Conclusions The intelligent assist order system for parenteral nutrition can solve the problems of energy calculation and ensure the stability of all-in-one parenteral nutrition admixture.As a result,it can improve the utilization of parenteral nutrition in hospital.
