Penny J Lewis博士
《药学瞭望》:Lewis博士,您的讲座主题是“安全用药之路”。基于您的国际经验,您认为医疗系统必须采取哪些至关重要但常被忽视的步骤,才能显著减少用药错误?
Penny J Lewis博士:在用药安全领域,我们往往过于迅速地聚焦于个人责任,但实际上更应深入审视围绕个体的系统与流程。我们需要更多地去思考那些影响安全的文化和规范因素,关注人们所使用的工具、所处的系统和所遵循的流程。只有从整体上理解药物是如何被使用的,我们才能有效制定干预措施,支持安全用药。
从我多年研究中得出的一个重要启示,是良好沟通的价值。沟通问题往往是用药安全事件的促成因素,表现为医疗卫生专业人员之间、医患之间以及医疗机构之间信息共享不畅。我们亟须加强沟通支持,赋能患者,促进其参与安全实践。这一领域值得投入更多的工作和研究。
此外,应推动医疗卫生专业人员更紧密地整合与知识共享,以造福患者,并努力提升医疗系统的协同性。目前的系统往往较为碎片化,患者成为不同机构间唯一连贯的因素。我们或许可以借助技术,使患者在整个医疗过程中的体验更加顺畅。

Pharmacy Online:Professor Lewis, your lecture focuses on "The Road Towards Safe Medication Use." Based on your international experience, what are some crucial yet often overlooked steps that healthcare systems must take to significantly reduce medication errors?
Professor Penny J Lewis:In medication safety, we can be very quick to focus on individuals. I believe we need to explore more deeply the systems and processes that surround people when they are trying to use medications safely. We should think more about the cultures and norms that influence safety, the tools people use, and the systems and processes within which they work. Only by understanding how medicines are used in a holistic way can we design interventions that truly support safe medication practices.
From the work I’ve done over the years, one particularly important insight is the value of good communication. Communication is often a contributing factor in medication safety incidents. This can occur due to poor communication between healthcare professionals, between professionals and patients, or between healthcare organizations that fail to share information effectively. Much can be done to improve communication, empower patients to engage in their own safety, and promote greater integration among healthcare professionals to share knowledge for the benefit of patients. We also need to consider how to make our healthcare systems more connected—they are often highly fragmented, and the patient is the only consistent factor across these organizations. With the help of technology, we should strive to make the patient’s journey through the healthcare system smoother and safer.
《药学瞭望》:技术正在迅速改变医疗保健。您认为人工智能等新兴技术可以在安全用药方面扮演怎样的角色?在这个过程中,我们应避免哪些潜在的风险或陷阱?
Penny J Lewis博士:人工智能在用药安全领域蕴藏着巨大机遇。它可用于更快速、更准确地识别风险,也可用于分析诸如用药事件报告等数据。一旦出现问题,我们通常能够从事件报告中生成海量数据,而人工处理这些信息耗时巨大。人工智能有助于更快地理解和整合这些信息,并以更友好的格式呈现。
然而,这些信息始终需要人来解读。人工智能的效能取决于输入系统的信息质量。我们需要医疗卫生专业人员和药师能够管理这些信息,并合理判断下一步的优先行动。人工智能的确潜力巨大,但我们不应忽视人与技术的交互方式。因此,人工智能使用的社会技术层面将是未来一个重要的研究方向。

Pharmacy Online:Technology is rapidly transforming healthcare. What role do you think emerging technologies like artificial intelligence can play in medication safety, and what potential risks or pitfalls should we avoid in this process?
Professor Penny J Lewis:I think there are excellent opportunities for AI to contribute to medication safety. It could be used to identify risks more quickly and accurately, and to analyze large datasets such as incident reports. When things go wrong, we often generate huge amounts of data from these reports, which take significant time to process manually. AI could help synthesize this information more efficiently and present it in a user-friendly format.
However, human interpretation remains essential—AI is only as good as the data input into the system. Healthcare professionals and pharmacists must be able to manage, interpret, and prioritize AI-generated insights to determine subsequent actions. While AI holds tremendous potential, we must not overlook the socio-technical aspects of its implementation—how humans and AI interact. This intersection is going to be a major area for future research.
