Role of hospital pharmacists in transitions of careRosalynn Pangan
Hospital pharmacists play a key role in medication reconciliation during care transitions to reduce medication errors. Medication reconciliation involves creating an accurate list of all medications a patient is taking and reconciling it with physician orders at various transition points like admission, transfer, and discharge. Studies show high rates of unintentional medication discrepancies during transitions that can harm patients if undetected. Pharmacists conducting medication reconciliation at transitions have been shown to identify and resolve many discrepancies, intercepting potential errors. Key elements for successful reconciliation include designating a single list shared by all providers, clearly defining roles, integrating the process into workflow, educating patients, and conducting reconciliation at various transition points in the care process.

Introduction of the NZ Health IT Plan enables better gout management - Reflections of an early adopter. Presented by Peter Gow, Counties Manukau DHB, at HINZ 2014, 12 November 2014, 11.37am, Plenary Room
This document summarizes a project to improve the medication order and dispensing process at an inpatient pharmacy to reduce risks of medication errors. It describes the current process which involves electronic medication orders, printed labels, and medication administration records (MAR). A process map identified 23 steps and 48 gaps. Root cause analysis found issues like human error, technical problems, lack of training and non-compliance with policies. Recommendations include ensuring policy compliance, updating the health information system, modifying behaviors like only printing one label at a time for verification, and performing failure mode effects analysis when modifying the process.
- Home-based medication therapy management (MTM) services were integrated into a large urban health system between September 2012 and December 2013. A pharmacist provided 74 home visits to 53 patients.
- Most referrals (66%) came from the internal medicine clinic, with about half from physicians and 23% from pharmacists. The top reasons for referral were nonadherence, transportation barriers, and the need for medication reconciliation with home care nurses.
- On average, patients had 3 medication-related problems identified during the home visits. The most common problem was non-compliance, affecting 40% of patients. Home-based MTM allowed for direct assessment of factors influencing medication use and improved care coordination.
Nearly 20% of Medicare patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Many readmissions appear preventable and add substantial costs to the Medicare system. Reducing readmissions requires understanding factors leading to initial admissions and coordinating care between inpatient and outpatient providers, through interventions like transitional care programs, self-management education, and coordinated care models. No one strategy will be effective - hospitals must work with nursing homes, physicians, and other providers to address readmissions.

This document discusses hospital pharmacoepidemiology, which involves tracking drugs administered to patients during their hospital stay and systematically recording adverse drug reactions (ADRs). It notes challenges like patients receiving care in multiple departments and from various providers, making complete drug exposure data difficult to obtain. Other challenges include uncertain validity of drug and diagnosis information in medical records. Solutions discussed include intensive hospital surveillance programs and use of integrated inpatient databases. The document also describes a new adverse drug monitoring program aimed at improving patient care and safety through activities like maintaining ADR reports, preventing drug interactions, and educating staff.
The document summarizes three medication management programs:
1. The London Older Peoples Service Development Programme uses a specialist pharmacist assessment and care plan coordinated by a case manager to address older patients' medication access, compliance, and clinical issues.
2. Imperial College's My Medication Passport provides patients a consolidated list of their medications, allergies, and contacts to improve information sharing between care settings.
3. Optimize Adherence Service uses accredited community pharmacists to conduct adherence assessments, develop support plans, and provide ongoing reviews to both address unintentional non-compliance barriers and provide cognitive support to improve intentional medication taking.
pharmacy practice and scope in Ethiopia: An over viewMohammed Mohammed
This document provides an overview of clinical pharmacy education and practice. It discusses how clinical pharmacy has evolved globally to focus on patient care rather than just dispensing medications. It notes that while clinical pharmacy services have been implemented well in developed countries, practice in Africa still focuses more on traditional dispensing due to various challenges. The document argues that Ethiopia should shift pharmacy practice and education towards a clinical model to optimize patient outcomes and rational medication use, given issues seen in studies like high rates of drug therapy problems and prescribing errors. Implementing clinical pharmacy services could help address gaps and improve health outcomes, quality of life and cost-effectiveness.
The document discusses outpatient departments (OPDs) in hospitals. It defines an OPD and provides reasons for their establishment, including rising healthcare costs and limited hospital beds. OPDs provide about 30-35% of hospital revenue. Key points made include:
- OPDs see over 50% of inpatients and act as screening points for treatment need. On average, 500 outpatients are seen per hospital bed per year.
- Common problems faced by OPDs include insufficient doctors and facilities, long wait times, and lack of privacy. Queuing theory principles and appointment systems can help minimize wait times.
- Proper design, staffing, equipment and management of patient flow are needed to improve OPD efficiency

NICE Guidance states:
1.2.2 For all care settings, health and social care practitioners
should proactively share complete and accurate information
about medicines:
•ideally within 24 hours of the person being transferred, to
ensure that patient safety is not compromised and
•in the most effective and secure way, such as by secure
electronic communication, recognising that more than one
approach may be needed.

• MUR
Another post-discharge MUR project was launched
involving South Staffordshire Primary Care Trust and
Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust in 2009. As a
result, 69 MURs were conducted in patients’ homes.
The project resulted in an 81% improvement in
measures of functional independence as well as saving
the Trusts £413,819 during the first year.
