Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview01:26

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

1.6K
Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

54
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...

Three-Compartment Open Model01:06

Three-Compartment Open Model

1.1K
The three-compartment open model is a pharmacokinetic model used to describe the distribution and elimination of drugs following extravascular administration. It comprises a central compartment representing the plasma and two peripheral compartments. The highly perfused peripheral compartment represents organs and tissues with a rich blood supply, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. The scarcely perfused peripheral compartment represents tissues with lower blood supply, such as adipose...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Overview01:20

Pharmacokinetic Models: Overview

2.4K
Pharmacokinetic models utilize mathematical analysis to achieve a detailed quantitative understanding of a drug's life cycle within the body. They are instrumental in simulating a drug's pharmacokinetic parameters, predicting drug concentrations over time, optimizing dosage regimens, linking concentrations with pharmacologic activity, and estimating potential toxicity.
There are three primary types of models: empirical, compartment, and physiological. Empirical models, with minimal...

Determination of Multiple Dosing Parameters: Loading and Maintenance Doses

336
A loading dose is an essential pharmacological strategy to rapidly achieve the target plasma drug concentration necessary for an immediate therapeutic effect. This approach is especially critical for drugs characterized by slow absorption or extended half-lives, where delaying therapeutic plasma levels could compromise treatment outcomes. By administering a loading dose, clinicians ensure a prompt onset of drug action, even for agents with complex pharmacokinetic profiles.Achieving steady-state...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Healthcare Administration
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Academic medical centers require structured programs for pharmacist advancement.
  • Retaining and motivating high-performing pharmacists is crucial for quality patient care.
  • Existing career paths may not adequately support professional growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and outcomes of a pharmacist career ladder program (PCLP).
  • To evaluate the impact of the PCLP on pharmacist professional development and engagement.
  • To assess the PCLP's role in recognizing and retaining high-performing staff.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a PCLP with four tiers and advancement criteria in five categories.
  • Voluntary annual applications for advancement by pharmacists.
  • Annual review by a committee of peers and managers.
  • Tracking of advancement success rates and participation in projects.

Main Results:

  • Increasing success rates for advancement: 50% (2013), 85% (2014), 100% (2015).
  • Considerable increase in pharmacist participation in clinical and process improvement projects.
  • Enhanced documentation of interventions and medication-use variances.
  • Increased pharmacist leadership in drug-use policy and medication safety initiatives.

Conclusions:

  • The PCLP facilitated professional advancement for frontline pharmacists.
  • The program boosted engagement in clinical projects, leadership, and medication safety initiatives.
  • Implementation led to a rise in specialty board certifications and peer-reviewed publications.
