Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

600
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

4.1K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.5K
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

429
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

395
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

642
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is a clinical practice that measures specific drug levels in a patient's blood at designated intervals to ensure the drug concentration stays within a therapeutic range. This monitoring is crucial for optimizing individual dosage regimens, enhancing therapeutic efficacy, and minimizing drug-related toxicity. TDM is vital for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, significant variability in pharmacokinetics, and a clear correlation between plasma levels and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pharmacology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • UK medical students report low prescribing confidence.
  • Prescriptions by junior doctors often contain errors.
  • Limited resources exist to prepare students for the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an online e-tutorial to enhance medical students' prescribing confidence and preparedness for the PSA.
  • To address the identified need for PSA-specific preparatory resources.

Main Methods:

  • A needs analysis informed the design of the 'Prepare for the PSA' e-tutorial.
  • The e-tutorial featured a practice exam mirroring the PSA, personalized feedback, and interactive learning activities.
  • 248 final-year medical students evaluated the e-tutorial, reporting prescribing confidence before and after use.

Main Results:

  • The e-tutorial evaluation achieved a response rate of 72.7-73.9%.
  • Completion of the e-tutorial was linked to statistically significant (p < 0.0001) improvements in prescribing confidence across all assessed skills.

Conclusions:

  • The developed e-tutorial is effective in meeting medical students' needs for PSA preparation.
  • Wider dissemination and expansion with user-generated content could establish the e-tutorial as a national collaborative prescribing education platform.
