In healthcare, the emphasis on patient safety and the minimization of medical errors cannot be overstated. Despite concerted efforts, many healthcare systems, especially in low-resource regions, still grapple with preventing these errors effectively. This study explores a pioneering application aimed at addressing this challenge by assisting caregivers in gauging potential risks derived from medical notes. The application leverages data from openFDA, delivering real-time, actionable insights regarding prescriptions. Preliminary analyses conducted on the MIMIC-III \cite{mimic} dataset affirm a proof of concept highlighting a reduction in medical errors and an amplification in patient safety. This tool holds promise for drastically enhancing healthcare outcomes in settings with limited resources. To bolster reproducibility and foster further research, the codebase underpinning our methodology is accessible on https://github.com/autonlab/2023.hackAuton/tree/main/prescription_checker. This is a submission for the 30th HackAuton CMU.
