照護持續性與病患就醫行為管理研究—以藥物交互作用為例

Cheng-Yun Pu 蒲正筠 July 3, 2020

1 近年來，提高患者的照護持續性是病人照護的中心主題之一。 較高的照護持續性與好的病人預後相關，包含：急診就診次數減少，入院次數減少和醫療費用降低等，同時也發現，這個效果可以通過減少不適當的藥物得到部分解釋。2 除此之外，較高的照護持續性也可以增加患者的藥物依從性。3 不良的照護持續性會增加發生藥物相互作用事件的風險，並且在多共病的病患中效果更顯著。4 然而，過去鮮少有研究深入探討高照護持續性對於藥物相互作用的影響機制。了解照護持續性如何影響藥物相互作用事件發生的機制非常重要
