    This study details a hospital

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacovigilance
    • Hospital Quality Assurance
    • Drug Safety

    Background:

    • Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) pose a significant threat to patient safety, contributing to up to 5% of hospitalizations.
    • Current ADR reporting systems exhibit variable capture rates, highlighting a need for robust tracking mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a hospital-based reporting system for cataloguing and evaluating adverse drug reactions.
    • To present findings on ADRs identified over a 12-month period at St. Elizabeth Hospital Medical Center.

    Main Methods:

    • Collaboration with the Medical Record Department to identify and catalogue ADRs.
    • Tabulation and evaluation of ADRs by the Department of Pharmacy.
    • Integration into the Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee's quality assurance program.

    Main Results:

    • 150 adverse drug reactions were catalogued over a 12-month period.
    • Of these, 58 led to hospital admission, and 92 occurred during existing hospitalizations.
    • Cardiovascular agents and antibiotics were the most frequently implicated drug classes.

    Conclusions:

    • The described reporting system effectively identifies and quantifies adverse drug reactions within a hospital setting.
    • The findings underscore the importance of continuous monitoring and reporting for improving drug safety and quality of care.
    • The system aligns with accreditation standards, supporting hospital quality assurance initiatives.
