Medications are a critical component of the care provided to patients and are used for diagnostic, symptomatic,
preventive, curative, and palliative treatment and management of diseases and conditions. A medication
system that supports optimal medication management must include processes that support safe and effective
medication use. Safe, effective medication use involves a multidisciplinary, coordinated effort of health care
practitioners applying the principles of process design, implementation, and improvement to all aspects of
the medication management process, which includes the selecting, procuring, storing, ordering/prescribing,
transcribing, distributing, preparing, dispensing, administering, documenting, and monitoring of medication
therapies

An Essential Drug List, also known as a core drug list or medication list, is a carefully selected inventory of medications that are deemed essential for addressing the most prevalent health conditions within a specific population or country. It serves as a key component of national drug policies and pharmaceutical programs, ensuring the availability, accessibility, and affordability of essential medicines. The list is typically developed based on rigorous criteria, taking into consideration the medications' safety, efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for primary healthcare settings.
Rational Drug Therapy refers to the systematic and evidence-based approach to prescribing medications, aiming to maximize therapeutic benefits while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. It involves following established therapeutic guidelines and clinical protocols to ensure that medications are prescribed in a manner that is appropriate for the patient's condition, taking into account factors such as age, weight, co-existing conditions, drug interactions, and individual response. Rational drug therapy promotes the use of medications based on sound scientific evidence, emphasizing the principles of efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness to optimize patient outcomes and improve overall healthcare quality.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Medicines Management
• Medical commodities – collectively all medicines and other
hospital supplies used in the management of patients.
• Medical supplies - health care related items that are
disposable or cannot withstand repeated use by more than
one individual and are required to manage a patients’
condition. Examples - diapers, syringes, gauze, bandages
• Medicines management is the set of practices aimed at
ensuring the timely Availability and appropriate use of Safe,
Effective, Quality medicines and related products and
services in any health-care setting.

Medicine management involves four main
elements/components:
1) Selection,
2) Procurement,
3) Distribution, and
4) Use
– OTHERS:
Management support and
Policy and legal framework
• It is a real cycle, as each element is based on the
previous element and is followed by the next.

9. Selection
• Involves reviewing prevalent health problems,
identifying treatments of choice, choosing
medicines and dosage forms and deciding which
medicines to be available at which level of care.
Public Sector
Selection is done nationally to determine which items
should be available at each level of care.
Private Sector
Sometimes are left out of national process and selection
is left to each facility or organization.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 9
10. Procurement
• Defn: Procurement is the process of acquiring
appropriate quantities of the needed items.
• Procurement can be through purchase or
donations.
• This is done at various levels:
– National level.
– Regional level (In some countries regional
procurement does not occur).
– Facility level.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 10
11. Procurement includes
1. Quantifying medicine requirements,
2. Selecting procurement methods,
3. Contracting - Establishing contract
terms and
4. Compliance - Ensuring adherence to
them, and
5. Quality Assurance - medicine quality.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 11
12. Distribution
• Distribution is a complex process that
involves transferring/transporting
medicines and other health commodities
from one point to another
• It includes clearing customs, stock control,
stores management, and delivery of
medicines to depots and facilities.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 12
13. Use
• Medicine use/utilisation can be rational or
irrational.
• Stages of use;
1. Diagnosing,
2. Prescribing,
3. Dispensing, and
4. Consumption by the patient.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 13
14. Rational use
Rational Medicines Use (RMU) - requires that:
Patients receive medications
1. Appropriate to their clinical needs.
2. In doses tailored to their personal requirements.
3. For an adequate period of time.
4. At the lowest cost to them and their community.
14
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS
15. Irrational Use
Opposite of irrational
Irrational use of medicines occurs when;
1. Wrong medicines are used.
2. Right but Ineffective or unsafe medications
are used.
3. Effective medicines but incorrectly used.
4. Effective but not needed.
5. Polypharmacy - Too many medicines are
used to treat the same illness.

8/14/2021 Daniel MPS
16. Management Support
• It is at the centre of the cycle.
• Its functions hold the cycle together.
They are:
1. Financing operations.
2. Management and coordination.
3. Quality assurance of medicines.
4. Information management, monitoring and
evaluation.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 16
18. Policy and Legal Framework
• The entire cycle rests on a policy and legal
framework that establishes the
mechanisms for each function and
supports the commodity management
system
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 18
19. Policy and Legal Framework
• It is important to be familiar with policies and
legislation relevant to medical commodities
– National policies.
– Quality requirements.
– Product registration.
– Patent legislation.
– Importation requirements and taxes, which control
the entry of products into individual countries and
can have a significant effect on costs.
– Health rights and access to treatment.

22. Objectives of Managing Medicines &
Supplies
• Objectives are categorised into 4
– Health obj.
– Financial obj.
– Operational obj.
– Customer service obj.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 22
23. Health Objectives
• The primary objective of running a health
institution is the improvement of the health of the
population.
• Health outcomes will be low if needed medicines
are not available.
• Additionally treatment guidelines are also
developed within the management cycle which
will lead to improved health outcomes through
rational use of medicines.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 23
24. Financial Objectives
• It has been shown that good medicines
management can save resources which is
crucial in settings where resources are scarce.
This includes lower prices through different
procurement methods and planned orders
(instead of emergency orders), improved
distribution systems, and limitation to
essential medicines among others.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 24
25. Operational Objectives
• The medicine management cycle
demonstrates that each function builds on
the previous function and leads logically to
the next.
• This implies that proper management of the
different functions will improve operations
of the next function and therefore of the
cycle as a whole.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 25
26. Customer Service Objectives
• Customer services in a hospital are to a large
extent assessed by availability of medicines.
• With good medicine management it is possible
to reduce stock outs and improve availability
of quality medicines at affordable costs.
• This will improve customer satisfaction and
hence increased patients’ turn-up.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 26
27. Benefits of efficient medicine
management to patients
1. Patients will receive
– The Right medicines.
– Right Dosage of medicines.
– Medicines of acceptable Quality.
– Sufficient Quantities of medicines.
– Consistent supply (Available) of medicines.
– In a Timely manner.
– At affordable Costs.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 27
Tip: Rationale of MHS & RMU Objs.
28. 2. Managing medicines leads to improved
treatment outcomes and health indicators
of the population.
3. Patients do not lose working hours due
to illness.
4. Patients will consistently seek healthcare
and reduce morbidity and mortality.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 28
29. 5. The population will have trust in the facility
which will increase patient numbers.
6. Improved management of medicines will save
financial resources.
7. The facility will enjoy smooth running of
operations.
8. The facility can attract donor funding through
efficient running of operations.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 29
30. Implications of Inefficient Medicine
Supply Management
Dangers/risks/challenges associated with Inefficient medicine
supply will lead to
1. Waste of resources: This can be in form of availing
inappropriate medicines which are of no use to the
patients and facility.
2. Unavailability of medicines: This will be due to delayed
sourcing of medicines and inadequate amounts being
requested.
3. Poor medicine handling/storage: Available medicines may
be stored inappropriately leading to damages and theft.
8/14/2021 Daniel MPS 30
31. 4. Irrational medicine use; Patients might not be treated
with the right medicines, might not receive the right
dosage.
5. Poor response to treatment; Patients do not get cured of
their illnesses.
6. Loss of trust in the health facility which will lead to
decreasing patient numbers.
7. Lack of motivation for facility staff.
If every time patients turn up to collect their medicines the staff
do not have them, this will lead to decreased job satisfaction
and lack of motivation.
