Abstract

The expansion of drug-related problems urged healthcare organizations to adopt Pharmacoinformatics to signal, analyze and report Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). Data for this study have been compiled from local and international sources such as WHO. The study resulted into the development of an intelligent multi-agent decision support system including a process model, a multi-agent architecture and an integrated data processing model with clear description of agent functionalities. The model reflects three main modules: a data capture and update module, diagnosis module and a pharmaceutical care and drug monitoring module. The study also reflected on the practical and managerial environment of the model and the basic considerations to be taken into account. The study also provided some important recommendations.
