Comprehensive medication reviews: Optimal delivery setting and recommendations for quality assessment
Journal of the American Pharmacists Association : Japha
|July 17, 2019
Summary
This study proposes a quality metric for comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs) and assesses optimal delivery settings. Improving CMR quality ensures evidence-based care for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacoeconomics and Health Outcomes Research
- Clinical Pharmacy Practice
Background:
- Comprehensive Medication Reviews (CMRs) are crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
- Current CMR quality varies across community, payer, and health system/clinic settings.
- There is a need for standardized metrics to ensure high-quality CMR delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel metric for evaluating the quality of comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs).
- To discuss and identify the optimal settings for delivering CMR services.
- To highlight opportunities for improving existing CMR practices.
Main Methods:
- Assessment of current CMR quality across diverse practice settings.
- Development and discussion of a companion metric for CMR quality evaluation.
- Analysis of factors influencing CMR effectiveness and patient outcomes.
Main Results:
- Identified variability in CMR quality across different healthcare settings.
- Proposed a metric to ensure CMRs align with evidence-based recommendations.
- Highlighted the importance of electronic medical record accessibility for personalized recommendations.
Conclusions:
- Accessibility to electronic medical records can enhance patient-specific recommendations and optimize CMR delivery.
- Pharmacist-physician collaboration and use of evidence-based recommendations are key factors for enhancing CMR quality.
- Further research is needed to identify additional factors that improve CMR quality and patient outcomes.

01:26Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management
212
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...
