Design and Implementation of a Computerized Management System for Adverse Drug Reactions at the Sourô SANOU University Hospital (CHUSS) in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso

Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities related to the detection, evaluation, understanding and prevention of adverse drug reactions or any other possible drug-related problems. In our tropics, this discipline is in an embryonic state. The availability of a management system capable of responding to pharmacovigilance activities is the main objective of our study. The coding was done on the DJANGO Framework. Signal detection was done using the ROR method. We designed three modules which are the notification module, the analysis module and the statistics module. This study has allowed us to launch the basis for a computerization of the pharmacovigilance information system and partly meets our objective. However, it could lead to the integration of the dictionary of adverse effects such as MedDRA as well as the International Classification of Medicines (ATC, EphMRA).
