New cards

institutional pharmacies

refers to pharmacies or institutions, organization and or corporations that provide a range of pharmaceutical service, given exclusively to the employee and/or their qualified dependents.

2
New cards

institutional pharmacy practice

  • includes the provision of distributional and clinical pharmacy services at a broad range of institutional settings including hospitals, long-term care, hospice, correctional facilities, and others

  • Typically, the institutions that pharmacists serve are linked together formally or informally into integrated health systems.

3
New cards

Health system

collection of organizations and institutions whose mission is to positively impact health outcomes.

4
New cards

integrated health systems

integrate all care under the umbrella of a central organization, and often include inpatient/acute care, primary care/outpatient care, long-term care, and home care.

5
New cards

prescribing

  • often viewed as something that only physicians are authorized to do.

  • However, the reality is that many other health-care professionals are authorized to prescribe by state law or through a formalized process in hospitals known as privileging.

6
New cards

privileging

the process by which an oversight body of a health care organization or other appropriate provider body, having reviewed an individual health care provider's credentials and performance and found them satisfactory, authorizes that individual to perform a specific scope of patient care services within that setting.

7
New cards

transcribing

  • Refers to the process by which a prescriber's written order Is copied and either manually or electronically entered into pharmacy records.

  • represents an opportunity for error, especially when done manually.

  • Role is that pharmacists must understand potential breakdowns in the transcribing process and help hnd wavs to minimize errors.

8
New cards

dispensing

  • Refers to the act of physically transferring the drug product following review and approval of the prescription to the area responsible for administering the medication to the patient.

  • an area where medication errors can occur, including, but not limited to wrong drug, wrong dose, wrong dosage form errors

9
New cards

administration

  • Typically managed by nurses

  • The last step before patients are given their medications, and errors at this point cannot be corrected Nurses usually serve as the final check in the medication -use process.

10
New cards

monitoring

  • a critical phase where pharmacists plav a vital role.

  • Includes reviewing laboratory values that are correlated with the expected medication-therapy outcomes, as well as other objective and subjective factors that indicate whether the therapy is effective or may be having a toxic effect.

11
New cards

practice models

  • Operational structure that defines how and where pharmacists practice, including the type of drug distribution system used, the layout and design of the department, how pharmacists spend their time, practice functions, and practice priorities.

  • The most important factor determining the role and effectiveness of the pharmacy department.

  • It sets the stage and defines the roles.

  • The term practice model describes how pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and automation interrelate to provide pharmacy services.

12
New cards

hospital type institution type patient population pharmacy services delivery

may vary based on

13
New cards

drug distribution centered

  • Pharmacists primarily distribute drugs and process new medication orders.

  • Role is REACTIVE: responds to requests of physicians and nurses but rarely initiates major changes in therapy.

  • Pharmacist is not actively involved with the health care team or in development of therapeutic plans for the patient.

  • Pharmacists are not accountable for the health outcomes of patients and exert little leadership in influencing the medication-use process.

14
New cards

clinical pharmacists

  • are chiefly involved in clinical activities associated with medical teams on the nursing units.

  • Primary responsibility: assisting physicians and other health professionals in avoiding and solving clinical problems exclusive of the distribution process.

15
New cards

distributive pharmacists

  • are those who spend most of their time in drug distribution reviewing orders and verifying the accuracy of medication preparation by technician. Little or no collaboration occurs between clinical and distributive pharmacists in the extreme of this model, so these pharmacists are selectively accountable for the medication-use process.

16
New cards

patient centered integrated

  • All pharmacists in the department accept responsibility for all elements of the medication-use process and therefore spend their time on both clinical and distributive functions.

  • Pharmacists' roles in drug distribution are often limited, because many distribution tasks are delegate to well-trained pharmacy technicians.

  • Pharmacists are able to expand their clinical roles to more active engagement in medication selection and drug use as part of an interdisciplinary team.

  • Pharmacists exhibit a high degree of ownership of and accountability for the entire medication- use process

17
New cards

pharmacy automation

  • serves to increase efficiency and accuracy of dispensing.

  • Important to the practice mode because utilization of many of the available technologies can influence what the pharmacist and pharmacy technician do in support of medication dispensing.

  • Advantage: full use of automation can re-direct stat time away from routine technical tasks and towards more direct patient care activities

18
New cards

unit based cabinet

  • These cabinet-based technologies are usually located strategically in the patient care area and contain compartments where individual medications are stored.

  • The compartments only open and give access to the medication when the user is authorized to do so

  • Usually this authorization is based on the computer in the cabinet verifying that the medication has been approved through an interface with the pharmacy computer system.

  • Have been successful because they place medications much closer to the user, but still allow electronic verification that the medication and dose is correct for the patient

  • Simplify billing and documentation of medication administration.

20
New cards

pharmacy robot

  • These systems contain hundreds of bar coded packages placed in designated spaces on long rods. The robot moves to the designated space, verifies that it is the correct medication using the bar code, and removes the number of doses needed.

  • Usually used to prepare a 24-hour supply of oral and prepackaged injectable medications.

  • Pharmacist and technician time needed to prepare and check these medications is greatly reduced when this technology is used.

21

pharmacy robot example

22
New cards

sterile compounding automation

  • Ranges from small pumps used to fill syringes and prepare parenteral nutrition solutions to large systems with robotic arms capable of preparing all types of sterile IV solutions and infusions.

  • Improve the efficiency of sterile product preparation while improving the accuracy of the preparation and minimization or potential contamination

23
New cards

medication-related technology outside pharmacy

  • Medication-related technology used outside of the pharmacy is usually focused on safety

  • These systems have a direct impact on the pharmacy and require active involvement by the pharmacy in making sure that systems are designed and used optimally to realize their safety benefits.

24
New cards

bar coded medication administration systems

requiring pharmacy involvement in assuring that drug packages have appropriate readable bar codes and that information systems capture and document information.

25
New cards

computerized prescriber order entry

  • require an interface or integration with pharmacy information systems so that medication ordering information is able to transfer between the prescriber and the pharmacy.

  • Standard order sets and verification mechanisms also require pharmacy for these systems

26
New cards

smart pumps

  • programmable pumps that allow the user to predefine minimum and maximum rates of administration, preventing errors where patients are under- or over-dosed with medication.

  • Pharmacy plays an important role in making sure that the limits contained in the "drug library" are clinically appropriate

27
New cards

critical care

  • Patients are of a higher acuity level, meaning that they have greater needs for care. Patients are, by definition, critically ill and therefore their clinical status is constantly changing - They must be monitored closely and their drug therapy is often changed or adjusted Typically, these patients are on multiple intravenous medications, thereby creating a high potential for incompatibilities, drug interactions, and errors.

  • Patients also may have declining organ function, such as kidneys or liver, which affects drug dosing.

28
New cards

general care unit

  • The acuity of patients is less. Drug therapy is more likely to be stable and many times is a combination of oral and intravenous medications, depending on the patient's treatment regimen.

  • medication reconciliation is the process of/comparing a patient's medication orders to all of the medications that the patient has been taking.

  • In these settings, medication therapy is managed by a pharmacist and usually patients see the pharmacist one-on-one by appointment.

  • Pharmacists have great potential to improve medication-therapy outcomes, reduce errors, and reduce readmissions in outpatient clinic settings.

33
New cards

home health care

  • most specifically home infusion services, have evolved as a way for patients to be treated in a non-hospital setting, usually their home.
