Barriers and facilitators to recovering from e-prescribing errors in community pharmacies
Journal of the American Pharmacists Association : Japha
|December 25, 2014
Summary
Community pharmacies can improve recovery from electronic prescribing errors by addressing organizational factors like communication, training, and teamwork. Optimizing the work system is key to successful error recovery and patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Practice
- Patient Safety
- Health Systems Engineering
Background:
- Electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) has become widespread in community pharmacies.
- Errors in e-prescribing can occur, necessitating effective recovery strategies.
- Understanding barriers and facilitators to error recovery is crucial for patient safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify barriers and facilitators to recovering from e-prescribing errors in community pharmacies.
- To explore practical solutions for redesigning work systems to ensure successful error recovery.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative, cross-sectional design.
- Data collected through direct observations, interviews, and focus groups.
- Thematic analysis guided by the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model.
Main Results:
- Organizational factors (communication, training, teamwork, staffing) significantly impact e-prescribing error recovery.
- Pharmacy personnel's experience, knowledge, tool usability, interruptions, time pressure, and environmental noise also influence error recovery.
- Both positive and negative effects on recovery were observed based on these factors.
Conclusions:
- The SEIPS model effectively highlights key factors influencing e-prescribing error recovery.
- Factors include the work environment, teamwork, communication, technology, tasks, and organizational variables.
- Pharmacies need to establish supportive working conditions to ensure successful recovery from e-prescribing errors.

01:26Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios
103
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:

01:08Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Dose Adjustments Due to Hepatic Impairment
367
Hepatic impairment, characterized by decreased liver function, does not uniformly mandate adjustments in drug dosage. Whether dosage modifications are necessary depends on various factors related to the drug's metabolism and elimination pathways. If a drug is primarily excreted via the kidneys and bypasses significant hepatic processing, if it undergoes minimal metabolic transformation in the liver, or if it is volatile and primarily expelled through the lungs, dose adjustments may not be...

Modified-release dosage forms are designed to address the limitations of drugs with short biological half-lives. These forms maintain stable therapeutic drug concentrations over extended periods, reducing the need for frequent dosing. A consistent drug level helps minimize peak-trough fluctuations, which can reduce adverse effects, lower the risk of drug resistance, and improve overall treatment effectiveness.One common type of modified-release form is the extended-release (ER) formulation. ER...

2.0K
Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
