Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Environmental Sustainability
  • Pharmacy Practice

Background:

  • Medication waste presents significant environmental and financial challenges for healthcare systems.
  • Waste reduction initiatives are crucial for improving resource management and corporate responsibility.
  • The establishment of a dedicated Office of Sustainability highlights a growing commitment to environmental stewardship in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To decrease medication waste and streamline processes within a health system's pharmacy department.
  • To identify and implement targeted waste reduction strategies.
  • To develop a framework for other health systems interested in medication waste reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of a workgroup within the pharmacy department to coordinate waste reduction efforts.
  • Implementation of the REcycle Soon-To-Expire Program (RESTEP), starting in an intensive care unit satellite pharmacy.
  • Engagement of key stakeholders from various pharmacy operational areas to identify themes and expand efforts.

Main Results:

  • Successful waste reduction in the initial pilot area led to program expansion.
  • Identification of underlying themes to serve as a framework for broader waste reduction strategies.
  • Improved collaboration between healthcare professionals and IT teams to streamline processes.

Conclusions:

  • Waste reduction strategies significantly impact a health system's resource management and environmental sustainability.
  • A structured framework and improved waste reporting can guide health systems in minimizing waste.
  • Effective waste minimization promotes better stewardship of environmental, human, and financial resources.
