Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

1.1K
Blood pressure monitoring is a crucial clinical procedure in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions. Despite its significance, the accuracy of blood pressure measurements can be compromised by multiple factors, potentially leading to either falsely high or low readings. These inaccuracies are critical as they can significantly impact patient care. So, it is vital to understand these challenges deeply and adopt strategic approaches to minimize errors.
Several factors...

Pharmacovigilance

1.3K
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.
In some cases, there...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

65
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...

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying01:19

Errors and Mistakes in Surveying

350
Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy
  • Patient Safety
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Accurate patient medication histories are crucial in emergency departments (ED) to prevent medication errors.
  • A standardized electronic tool was developed to document potential medication errors for high-risk medications during ED admissions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a standardized, electronic data collection tool for identifying potential medication errors.
  • To assess the tool's effectiveness in documenting high-risk medications and associated errors during ED admissions.

Main Methods:

  • Trained pharmacy technicians utilized a secure web platform (REDCap®) to complete a survey post-medication history collection.
  • Data included patient specifics, high-risk medication details, and identified potential medication errors.

Main Results:

  • A pilot study (April 2019-October 2020) analyzed 191 patient records.
  • Of 1088 medications, 41% were high-risk; 42% of potential errors involved high-risk medications.
  • 58% of high-risk medication orders had the potential to cause errors during admission and discharge.

Conclusions:

  • The web-based survey tool enhances the quality and efficiency of identifying potential medication errors.
  • Improved medication reconciliation processes can positively impact patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
  • Preventing medication errors offers substantial financial benefits, estimated at billions annually nationwide.
