Adverse drug reaction program using pharmacist and nurse monitors.

L J Miwa, R J Randall

    Hospital Formulary
    |October 7, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Implementing a voluntary adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting program increased ADR documentation. This system, involving nurses and pharmacists, is feasible for adoption by other hospitals.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacovigilance
    • Clinical Pharmacy
    • Healthcare Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) pose a significant risk in healthcare settings.
    • Effective monitoring systems are crucial for patient safety and medication management.
    • Existing ADR reporting mechanisms may be suboptimal in capturing all events.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility and impact of a new adverse drug reaction (ADR) monitoring program.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a voluntary reporting system involving nurses and pharmacists.
    • To determine the potential for broader adoption of this ADR monitoring approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Nurses and pharmacists reported suspected ADRs using a standardized form.
    • Clinical pharmacy residents investigated reports, assessing causality, severity, and mechanism.
    • The study defined parameters for identifying and classifying ADRs.
    • Time commitment for monitoring personnel was estimated.

    Main Results:

    • The voluntary ADR reporting system successfully increased ADR documentation within the study institution.
    • The program's process for reporting and evaluating ADRs was detailed.
    • Parameters for defining an ADR were established.

    Conclusions:

    • A voluntary adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting program is feasible and effective in enhancing ADR documentation.
    • The described system can be considered for adoption by Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committees in other healthcare facilities.
    • This initiative contributes to improved patient safety through proactive ADR surveillance.
