Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Overview and Classification

16
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...

Errors occurring during blood pressure monitoring

1.0K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Operations
    • Process Improvement
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Lean methodology, particularly value stream mapping, offers a framework for identifying and mitigating inefficiencies within pharmacy operations.
    • The medication synchronization process is a critical area where inefficiencies can impact patient care and operational workflow.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate improvements in medication synchronization processes aimed at reducing non-value-added activities.
    • To assess the adherence to core components of medication synchronization.
    • To determine the optimal medication synchronization process for a multi-location independent community pharmacy.

    Main Methods:

    • An observational, cross-sectional study design was employed.
    • Value stream mapping was utilized to visually represent and analyze each step of the medication synchronization process.
    • Time-motion studies were conducted before and after process interventions to quantify changes in workflow efficiency.

    Main Results:

    • Interventions led to the elimination of two process steps, resulting in a 69.4% reduction in adherence packaging time.
    • Staff feedback indicated positive perceptions regarding intervention appropriateness and the feasibility of the new process.

    Conclusions:

    • Value stream mapping is an effective tool for identifying and reducing waste in medication synchronization.
    • Process standardization achieved through these interventions can enhance patient care continuity, medication adherence, and potentially reduce hospital admissions.
