A new pharmaceutical care plan in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU) demonstrated pharmacist effectiveness in preventing adverse drug events. This approach successfully documented pharmacist productivity and patient care contributions.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Pharmacoeconomics
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Pharmaceutical care plans are crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
  • Integrating clinical and distributive pharmacy functions enhances care quality.
  • Surgical intensive care units (SICUs) present unique challenges for medication management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and test a pharmaceutical care plan in a SICU.
  • To integrate clinical and distributive pharmacy information.
  • To assess pharmacist productivity and effectiveness in patient care.

Main Methods:

  • A pharmacist provided care for 10 SICU patients.
  • Developed a care plan integrating drug administration, indications, outcomes, and interactions.

  • Monitored for adverse drug reactions and documented time spent per patient.

    • Main Results:

    • Pharmacist involvement appeared to prevent adverse effects and drug interactions.
    • Significant variation in time spent on care due to patient diversity.
    • The care plan effectively documented pharmacist productivity and effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • A trial pharmaceutical care plan in the SICU proved useful.
    • The plan facilitated documentation of pharmacist contributions.
    • This model shows potential for broader institutional implementation.
