    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Information Science
    • Computer Science

    Background:

    • Existing computer databases contain valuable information relevant to poison control.
    • There is a need for an integrated system for efficient retrieval of this data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose the formation of a Poison Substance Information System (PSIS) by integrating existing databases.
    • To design a system that facilitates interactive data communication and inquiry/response searches.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing chemical codes as essential data elements to link disparate databases.
    • Employing product codes for straightforward and precise end-user access.
    • Describing ten component databases, with two forming the core and eight attachable modules.

    Main Results:

    • Information is demonstrably available within existing databases for a PSIS.
    • Modifications to some databases are necessary but represent natural extensions of their capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • It is feasible to link existing databases into a comprehensive online poison information retrieval system.
    • The proposed PSIS offers a practical solution for accessing critical poison-related data.
