Using name overlap analysis to understand medication name search safety
CONCLUSION: Medication name left-to-right character overlap on lists of names searched ranges widely. Instead of requiring all users to type a set number of characters when searching for medications by name, search safety can potentially be improved by upgrading computer systems to dynamically respond to each keystroke entered. Using incremental dynamic search, searchers would often be able to type fewer than 5 characters to isolate a single medication by name but would sometimes have to type many more than 5 characters to do so.PMID:38400784 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae048 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)
