  1. Resource and Patient Management Systems (RPMS)Adverse Reaction Tracking (GMRA) Introduction and Set Up 2011

  2. Session Objectives At the end of this session, participants should be able to: • Understand how the Adverse Reaction Tracking package works • Discuss the importance of utilizing the Adverse Reaction Tracking package for documenting patient reactions • Identify the menu options available in the Adverse Reaction Tracking package • Examine the available options for customizing the Adverse Reaction Tracking package

  3. What is an Adverse Reaction? What is an adverse drug reaction (ADR)? An adverse drug reaction is a “response to a drug which is noxious and unintended and which occurs at doses normally used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis, or therapy of disease, or for the modification of physiologic function.” Note that there is a causal link between a drug and an adverse drug reaction. In sum, an adverse drug reaction is harm directly caused by the drug at normal doses, during normaluse. How does an ADR differ from a side effect or allergy? An allergy is an adverse drug reaction mediated by an immune response (e.g., rash, hives). A side effect is an expected and known effect of a drug that is not the intended therapeutic outcome. The term “side effect” tends to normalize the concept of injury from drugs. It has been recommended that this term should generally be avoided in favor of adverse drug reaction. All Allergies are Adverse Drug Reactions, but not all Adverse Drug Reactions are Allergies!

  4. Adverse Reaction Tracking at Work RPMS Electronic Health Record (EHR) CHOOSE 1-2: 1 PENICILLIN VK 250MG TAB AM110 -112926 000 93-5194-10 TEST PHARMACY Now doing order checks. Please wait... A Drug-Allergy Reaction exists for this medication and/or class! Drug: PENICILLIN VK 250MG TAB Ingredients: PENICILLIN, Do you want to Intervene? Y//

  5. How does it work? • Each drug matched to the National Drug file has a Veterans Affairs (VA) Drug Class and Ingredients • If the drug cannot be matched to the National Drug File, a VA Drug Class can be manually assigned • Adverse reactions are linked to VA Drug classes and ingredients • RPMS checks for patient reactions upon prescription processing • RPMS also checks for Drug-Drug and Drug-Food interactions • Interventions can be tracked and trended using the Adverse Reaction Tracking (ART) Program

  6. Why use Adverse Reaction Tracking? • Order checking in EHR and RPMS • Tracking and trending adverse reactions and outcomes • Reporting Adverse Reactions to manufacturers and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) • Information data exchange (interoperability) • Meaningful Use/Certification requirements

  7. Adverse Reaction Tracking Package Setup • The key to successful Adverse Reaction screening in EHR • Impacts all disciplines • Providers • Nurses • Pharmacy • ...and more

  8. Adverse Reaction TrackingSet Up Different menus for different types of users, less important with EHR, but need well defined workflow. Site parameters make package easier to use with workflow at site. Drug interactions will be interactive based on VA drug class and/or ingredients. Add users to mail groups so automatic bulletins will be sent appropriately.

  15. Set Up Users Clinical Users The doctors, nurses, other clinicians, and clerks entering the data into ART Verifiers Users designated by the site who verify the correctness of the data in ART P&T Committee users Members of the hospital's P&T Committee or other committee that reviews ADRs in the facility

  16. Security Keys GMRA-USER Needed to be able to enter reactions in EHR or RPMS, allows access to RPMS ART “User” menu GMRA-CLINIC Allows access to the RPMS ART “Clinician” menu, not needed for EHR GMRA-PT Allows access to the RPMS ART “P&T” menu

  17. Security Keys GMRA-ALLERGY VERIFY Needed to verify allergy/adverse reactions in RPMS or EHR GMRA-SUPERVISOR Allows access to the RPMS ART full menu, and the authority to override the software’s security in order to edit data GMRA-VERIFIER An obsolete key from a previous software version, no longer used

  18. Mailman Groups A Site Manager can enter users into different mail groups that will receive a bulletin when: A reaction needs verification (can separate out by drug, food, or other) A reactions is marked as entered in error P&T type data (FDA report) is entered A chart/patient band needs to be marked for a reaction The signs/symptoms of a particular reaction have been updated A user has requested the addition of a new reactant

  19. Mailman Groups The mail groups are: GMRA VERIFY DRUG ALLERGY - A list of all verifiers who will need to be sent drug reaction information GMRA VERIFY FOOD ALLERGY - A list of all verifiers who will need to be sent food reaction information GMRA VERIFY OTHER ALLERGY - A list of all verifiers who will need to be sent other types of reaction information (i.e., not drug or food) GMRA P&T COMMITTEE FDA - A list of the members of the P&T Committee. GMRA MARK CHART - A list of users who will need to mark a patient’s chart to record an allergy/adverse reaction GMRA REQUEST NEW REACTANT - A list of users who will be notified of a new reactant request

  20. Mailman Bulletins • GMRA ENTERED IN ERROR • This bulletin is to be sent to both the verifiers and the chart marking groups so that the reaction can be corrected on the patient record. • GMRA MARK CHART • This bulletin will alert the appropriate users to mark the patient chart for the patient and allergy/adverse reaction specified in the bulletin. • GMRA P&T COMMITTEE FDA • This bulletin will be issued when an agent is both observed and a drug and has been signed off. • GMRA SIGNS/SYMPTOMS UPDATE • This bulletin is to be set to the P&T committee if a reaction has had the Signs/Symptoms changed at anytime. • GMRA VERIFY ALLERGY • This bulletin will indicate that an allergy/adverse reaction needs to be verified.

  28. Autoverification issues • Can set autoverify ON for FOOD and OTHER reactions* • Can set Autoverify for Historical reactions • Recommended that all DRUG reactions be manually verified • Recommended that all OBSERVED reactions be manually verified *Autoverify can cause odd results for some drug allergies!

  29. Associating Drugs with Correct VA Drug Class Ensure entries in the drug file are matched to the National Drug File Should do this before starting or as soon as possible after Automatically assigns Once you have linked a reaction to the drug ingredients and VA class, all previous and future reactions will have the same information Order checks in EHR and RPMS are dependant on having a VA Drug Class and/or ingredients

  30. Edit Allergy File Software is distributed with a list of entries categorized as NATIONAL allergies: Approximately 785 entries delivered with EHR patch 8 Additional 16,000+ entries will be delivered with the next GMRA patch Due to data standardization and interoperability concerns, the allergy file can no longer be edited at the local site. Users may request new reactants be added through the RPMS Feedback page: Accessed through http:www.ihs.gov/RPMS Click on “Feedback” on the left hand side Use the RPMS Application “Pharmacy-New Reactant/Symptom Request (PRSR)
