ASHP’s Pharmacy Practice Model InitiativeA Gap Analysis of Wisconsin Hospitals Organized by Wisconsin Health-System Administration Residents Chad Smith, PharmD, MBA, BCPS Jack Kampf, PharmD, MPH, BCPS John Gray, PharmD Barry McClain, PharmD Justin Guthman, PharmD Ryan Fleming, PharmD
Rationale http://www.ashp.org/PPMI/AboutPPMI/Objectives.aspx
Rationale • PPMI implementation guidance not available • PSW structured to support the collaboration of Wisconsin pharmacy directors/departments • Practice ‘gaps’ need to be identified to develop next steps • PSW to offer guidance and education based on analysis to continually expand pharmacy practice in Wisconsin
Gap Analysis Tool • Survey to be sent to all pharmacy directors • Designed to determine the following: • Site demographics: • Hospital information • Current pharmacy practice model • Site’s status with each consensus statement • “To what extent is your pharmacy department following this recommendation?” • “How important is this recommendation to achieve/maintain a comprehensive practice model at your site?”
Gap Analysis Tool – 4 Domains Imperatives for New Pharmacy Practice Models Optimal Pharmacy Practice Models Advancing the Application of Information Technology in the Medication-Use Process Advancing the use of Pharmacy Technicians
Gap Analysis Tool To what extent is your pharmacy department following this recommendation 5 = Fully implemented throughout 4 = Fully implemented in some areas 3 = Partially implemented in some or all areas 2 = Formally discussed and considered, not implemented 1 = No activity How important is this recommendation to achieve/maintain a comprehensive practice model at your site 5 = Very important 4 = Somewhat important 3 = Neutral 2 = Somewhat not important 1 = Not important at all
PPMI Gap Analysis Pilot • Gap analysis tool piloted by four hospital pharmacy departments: • Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center • Froedtert Health-Community Memorial Hospital • Froedtert Hospital • University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics • Purpose was to test survey reporting and gather feedback
Reporting Capabilities Pharmacist-provided drug therapy management should be prioritized using a patient medication complexity index. (e.g. severity of illness, number of medications, and co-morbidities)
Gap Analysis Tool • PSW to analyze survey results • Hospitals will receive survey summary • Aggregate results to be published in JPSW http://www.pswi.org/communications/journal/2010/index.htm
Next Steps • Directors/managers to complete survey • PSW to compile & distribute results • Develop ‘Best Practice Guiding Documents’ • PSW to develop resources & education based on gaps identified • PSW Hospital Pharmacy Advisory Board will plan educational programs to support PPMI • References to be located on www.pswi.org
