Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

80
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...

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.9K
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

355
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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

1.0K
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

1.6K
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare quality improvement
  • Health informatics
  • Medication safety systems

Background:

  • Missing medication requests (MMRs) are frequent in inpatient settings.
  • They may indicate vulnerabilities in medication distribution and communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize electronic health record (EHR)-generated MMRs.
  • To identify the origin, timing, and reasons for MMRs.
  • To inform targeted interventions for improving medication management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of MMRs submitted over 30 days at a community teaching hospital.
  • Analysis of message origin, time of submission, and request type.
  • Post-intervention assessment of aggregate message volume.

Main Results:

  • 13,915 MMRs were submitted, averaging ~20 per hour.
  • Requests peaked around nursing shift changes (0800, 2000) and in high-acuity areas.
  • Top reasons included continuous infusion redispense, dose requests despite dispense, and cart-fill issues.
  • Workflow interventions reduced aggregate message volume by 14.7%.

Conclusions:

  • High-volume MMRs highlight medication-use system vulnerabilities.
  • Characterizing MMRs aids in prioritizing interventions like infusion standardization and workflow optimization.
  • Targeted interventions can reduce MMRs and improve medication management efficiency.
