Implementing Pharmacist Prescribing at Scale Across a United Kingdom NHS Hospital Trust David Campbell Clinical Director for Medicines Optimisation
Catalysts for change • Improve efficiency – avoid rework associated with correcting other prescribers’ mistakes/omissions • Staff & service development – opportunity to make a significant proactive contribution to direct care of patients
How did we do it? • Piloted and developed within admissions units • Roles then developed on general inpatient wards • 83% clinical pharmacists qualified or in training • Expansion across Trust and primary care
Results within inpatient setting • Prescribing across three district general hospitals • Part 1: • Pharmacists prescribed 680/5,274 items (12.9%) for 182/457 patients (39.8%) • Part 2: • 1415 medicines prescribed by Pharmacists with an error rate of 0.3% (4 items) Baqir W, et al. Eur J Hosp Pharm 2015; 22: 79-82
Where next? • Pharmacist prescribing not now routinely validated by another pharmacist • New emergency care hospital opening 2015 • Extended 7 day clinical working • Pharmacists routinely prescribing for all admissions • Exploring new advanced clinical roles e.g. in A&E • Expansion of primary care services • Running clinics in general practice • Care home services • Prescribing for vulnerable patients in their own home

BARCODESCANNING IN THE PHARMACYFOR A SAFER THERAPY Thomas De Rijdt, PharmD. No conflict of interest
Background andopportunities • Prevention of medicationerrors • CPOE withclinicaldecision support (60 %) • Bedsidescanning (36 %) • Process of dispensing (4 %) • Medication orders electronicallyavailable &allmedicationbarcoded on the single dose. • Hardware andknow-how present in the hospital
Methodology • Hospital pharmacistvalidatesmedication orders after screening therapyforappropriateness • Orders are sent to handterminals andshippinglabels are printed.
Methodology • Pharmacy techniciansoperate the pickingprocess: • Identifythemselvesby scanning ID-card • Scanning shipping label triggers guidancetolocation • Scanning bin confirmslocation • Scanning barcode on single dose checks product • Allmedication in separate bagswithshipping label
Results • Reduction of pickingerrorsto (nearly) zero • Optimized workflow (managing peaks) • Realtimedocumentation of actions • Opportunity toimplement “check of appropriateness”
Implementing chemotherapy dose-banding using retrospective data analysis and exponential calculus Mapi Fleury Hospitalpharmacist Dr Ludivine Falaschi Prof. Pascal Bonnabry EAHP, Hamburg26 March 2015
Providing patients with the best possible care • … and thatshouldstartwith an analysis of the facts
Facts • Calculating body surface area iseasy. It provideseach patient with the best fixedreference value withwhich to determine a chemotherapeutic dose, and itallows us to predictresponse to treatment and toxicity. • The dose prescribed by the physicianisexactly the same as thatmanufactured by the pharmacy’schemotherapy unit for the infusion bag. • Pharmacies financialresources are unlimited. • For gemcitabine, dosing at 1845.89 mg or at 1846 mg canmake all the difference in treatmentoutcome. • Humansnevermakemistakes.

So, let’sbe efficient and offer the patient the best possible care. Let’s use dose-banding.
2013 : 613 infusion bags of gemcitabine • 111 different doses (266 mg-2900 mg)

Dose-banding • Improvedquality, safety and efficacy • Reducedcosts • Automation

INTEGRATION OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL CARE RECORD INTO THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY ELECTRONIC OUTPATIENT RECORD Paloma Crespo Robledo Hospital PharmacyResident Hospital University of Móstoles. Madrid. Spain GOOD PRACTICE INICIATIVES. ORAL PRESENTATION. HAMBURG, 26thMarch 2015
Why did you do this GPI? • Background of Hospital Departments of Pharmacy in Spain. • Creation of the Electronic Medical Record in the Health System • Pharmaceutical Care record
I am a wholeperson INTEGRATION OF OUR PHARMACEUTICAL CARE RECORDS TO THE EMR VIA AN APPLICATION FORM
How did you do this GPI? • Answeringtwomainquestions: Where the application form should be included when the patient came in for a consult? What items should be taken into account for the follow up
Where the application form should be included when the patient came in for a consult? • Toavoidhavingmanyongoingprocesses and facilatethe doctor tochecktheapplicationform • Aplicationformisincluded in themostrelevantprocess • Forexample: an HIV+ patient has hisPharmaceuticalCareConsultApplicationform in “InfectiousDiseaseConsultProcess”
ID. NAME OF PATIENT ONGOING PROCESSES Doctor House Doctor House Applicationform PharmaceuticalCareConsult
ITEMS APLICATION FORMS BY DATE
What items should be taken into account for the follow up • Reason for the visit • Age • Weigth • Pathology • Relevant clinical data • Outpatient treatment • Comorbidities • Regular treatment • Drug interactions • Drug-related problems, • Adverse drug allergies/past issues • Adherence (0-100%) • Checks to mark whether if the patient has received: • oral and written information • Outpatient Pharmacy’s leaflet • Free text to write down given recommendations or other information
What are the outcomes, the practice improvements of this GPI? WE ARE STILL IN EARLY STAGES OF THE PROJECT • Increased safety in the use of drugs Anaimistoavoidmedicalerrorsduetoignorance of regular treatment at EmergencyDepartment. • Promotion of teamworkamongstprofessionalswhoattendthesamepatient • Data export can beprovided.
