Abstract:

Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine key informants’ perceptions of how the New Zealand Pharmaceutical Management Agency (PHARMAC) operates in New Zealand.Methods: We carried out qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with key informants. We obtained ethics approval from the University of Otago School of Pharmacy, and all participants gave informed consent. We digitally recorded the interviews, which were then transcribed, and coded in NVivo. The data were analyzed by theme using constant comparison methods. Twenty informants who had previously published research or commentary on New Zealand's access to medicines, acted as spokespersons for interest groups, or held positions that gave them key insights into New Zealand's medicines system agreed to participate. Informants were purposefully selected to ensure a wide range of views, including five people working in medicine, four in pharmacy, three Members of Parliament from different parties, and two each from PHARMAC and the pharmaceutical industry.Results: Respondents saw PHARMAC as an organization that contained medicine costs effectively, was politically neutral, and resistant to lobbying. It enjoyed broad political support and, with extremely rare exceptions, had been allowed to carry out its functions independently regardless of who was in government. As a result of this political stability, the relationship between PHARMAC and the pharmaceutical industry has been improving.Conclusion: PHARMAC's longevity and increasing influence are largely due to political choices made to prioritize containing pharmaceutical expenditure and to respecting PHARMAC's independence. This may be difficult to replicate in other countries.

Abstract:

The authors substantiate the need to develop a scientific and methodical approach to modernizing business processes of a pharmacy using information technologies. IK FARM LLC pharmacy has been chosen as a model object of the study. The IDEF0 (Integrated Definition Function Modeling) method adopted as a state standard in the US and recommendations of the State Standard of Russia R 50.1.028-2001 have been used for the analysis, systematization and reorganization of business processes. The article offers methodology for optimizing the pharmacy’s activities, which includes the building of two models for managing business processes – before and after modernization (AS-IS and AS-WILL). The structure of the AS-WILL model includes new functions: “Plan the pharmacy’s activities” (set the goals and objectives of the organization, plan target sales for the next period) and “Monitor the pharmacy’s activities” (control the compliance with the rules of drugs’ storage and layout, sanitary regime, and rules of property operation). The complex automation of the pharmacy's trading activities ensures these functions through the Magister software. Estimated efficiency of business processes’ modernization based on the net present value has indicated that automation of processes will increase net unreduced profit.

Abstract:

Health care is a business. Pharmacy is in the health business. The health care delivery system in the U.S. is rapidly becoming a managed system by corporations. Further, these corporations are moving toward international markets where some already have considerable experience. There are many parts of the world not participating in these developments in health care. Some are just off our shores in the Caribbean Basin. A review of activities occurring in recent years by various groups suggests that more could be done. Two modest approaches are presented. Support of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy's “Pharmacy School Twinning Project” through which U.S. pharmacy schools would work with pharmacy schools in Central and South America is recommended. Also, national pharmacy associations jointly with pharmaceutical companies would work together using their expertise in continuing pharmacy education to develop new education models for the needy areas of the world.

Abstract:

Objective: A quality improvement tool is provided to improve pharmacy workflow with the goal of minimizing errors caused by workflow issues. This study involved workflow evaluation and reorganization, and staff opinions of these proposed changes. Practice Description: The study pharmacy was an outpatient pharmacy in the Tucson area. However, the quality improvement tool may be applied in all pharmacy settings, including but not limited to community, hospital, and independent pharmacies. Practice Innovation: This tool can help the user to identify potential workflow problem spots, such as high-traffic areas through the creation of current and proposed workflow diagrams. Creating a visual representation can help the user to identify problem spots and to propose changes to optimize workflow. It may also be helpful to assess employees’ opinions of these changes. Conclusion: The workflow improvement tool can be used to assess where improvements are needed in a pharmacy’s floor plan and workflow. Suggestions for improvements in the study pharmacy included increasing the number of verification points and decreasing high traffic areas in the workflow. The employees of the study pharmacy felt that the proposed changes displayed greater continuity, sufficiency, accessibility, and space within the pharmacy.

Abstract:

Pharmacy services are an important part of society and play an irreplaceable role. Availability of medicines is a key factor that needs to be considered in health services. Parapharma, as a company engaged in the supply of medicines, realizes the importance of monitoring and analyzing data to optimize medicine availability. In the ongoing process, monitoring and analyzing data related to pharmacy availability has yet to run optimally because the amount of data is quite large. The monitoring and data analysis process is still carried out conventionally, so decision-making and management of pharmacy availability still need to be optimized. Therefore, through this research, Data Warehouse and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) will be implemented to support the decision-making process in managing pharmacy availability. The Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process integrates data from different sources into a data warehouse. The data is then processed and transformed so that it can be used for further analysis. By implementing a data warehouse and ETL, Parapharma can have fast and efficient access to important information contained in the data. OLAP technology, especially using Mondrian tools, is a means for companies to extract information from data warehouses with the help of interactive visualization. Various visualizations, such as information about laboratories providing the most popular pharmacy brands, the most in-demand types of pharmacys, and the average price per form of pharmacy, can provide significant insight into company strategic decisions. This research resulted in applying data warehouse and OLAP so that Parapharma can obtain accurate and detailed information regarding pharmacy demand and market trends. These research results allow companies to make the right decisions to manage pharmacy production to meet pharmacy needs efficiently. The use of data warehouse and OLAP also positively impacts improving the quality of service to the community.

Abstract:

ArgumentIn this article I describe the establishment and early development of an institution that is unique to the history of Chinese medicine – the Imperial Pharmacy (惠民藥局). Established in 1076 during the great reforms of the Song dynasty, the Imperial Pharmacy was a remarkable institution that played different political, social, economic, and medical roles over the years of its existence. Initially it was an economic institution designed to curb the power of plutocrats who were manipulating medicinal drug markets in their favor. A few decades later, I claim, the Imperial Pharmacy became a public-health-oriented institution focusing on selling readymade prescriptions in addition to simples. Various records, including local gazetteers and local maps, indicate that the Imperial Pharmacy expanded about a century after it was established to include dozens of branches throughout the empire. The Pharmacy's impact on the practices of physicians during these years is somewhat vague. It seems, however, to have posed an unwelcome addition to the medical scene, since it enabled uninitiated practitioners who relied on the Pharmacy's formulary to fit patients' symptoms to their own prescriptions and dispense medications with relative ease.

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this descriptive report is to share experiences in crisis response planning and risk mitigation at a university health system department of pharmacy with an integrated clinical practice model in the early months of the coronarvirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Summary The department of pharmacy’s COVID-19 pandemic response included successful planning and implementation of measures to maintain pharmacy operations and minimize COVID-19 exposure of patients and staff. These measures included ensuring adequate personnel staffing using flexible staffing solutions, ongoing assessment of supply chain integrity, and continuation of integrated clinical pharmacy services 24/7 throughout the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Information technology (IT) and educational program modifications are also discussed. Conclusion This report describes successful crisis planning and risk mitigation in the setting of COVID-19, which was facilitated by the department of pharmacy’s integrated clinical practice model. This model enabled uninterrupted personnel scheduling, supply chain integrity, continued provision of 24/7 integrated clinical services, adaptive use of IT tools, and continuation of educational programs. The experiences described may be instructive to other pharmacy departments in evaluating their response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in planning for similar pandemic or other emergency scenarios.

Abstract:

Patient compliance is an essential element in the recovery process whether it is postsurgical care or disease management. It has been shown that the more knowledgeable a patient is about his therapy, the more likely he is to be compliant with that therapy. The Pharmacy Department at Portsmouth Naval Hospital undertook a program to try to increase the patients' knowledge of their drug regimens and enhance their perception of pharmacy's role in health care. In today's age of consumerism, both of these were considered desirable goals. This was accomplished by establishing a service whereby the pharmacy picked up prescriptions from the nursing unit and filled them in the outpatient pharmacy prior to the patient's arrival at the pharmacy. The medications were discussed with the patient in a quiet setting, prior to their leaving the hospital. This is a US government work. There are no restrictions of its use.

Abstract:

Background: Interprofessional education activities are prevalent across health professional curricula in Canada. Students develop collaborative roles through structured on-campus programming; however, the ways in which established teams engage learners in hospital settings are unknown. Objective: To explore how mixed-discipline professionals describe expectations and experiences related to collaborating with pharmacy students who join their team for training. Methods: Mixed-discipline team members of an acute medicine clinical teaching unit were interviewed according to a semistructured interview guide. Participants described encounters with pharmacy trainees and shared expectations of the students’ collaborator roles in patient care. Audiorecordings of the interviews were transcribed and coded independently by 2 researchers, who synthesized the data and used the template analysis method to derive themes. Results: Fourteen team members from various disciplines were recruited. Participants’ descriptions of collaborative roles were organized into 2 main themes: pharmacy students as informants and pharmacy students as a bridge. A third integrative theme, engagement, encompassed how team members described pharmacy trainees enacting these roles. Team members sought pharmacy students’ medication-oriented expertise (e.g., dosing, compatibilities), and physicians often relied on the students’ familiarity with study data to guide treatment choices. Nonphysicians capitalized on pharmacy student proximity to physicians to understand such decision-making and inform their own patient care. Accounts of pharmacy students’ consultations with team members for patient assessments or to access other multidisciplinary knowledge were infrequent. Conclusions: Most team members’ expectations of pharmacy students in terms of the collaborator role lacked routine engagement or shared decision-making. These views represent challenges to the development of skills in collaborative care in workplace-based learning, which might be addressed through intentional interprofessional exercises assigned by preceptors. Further study is required to understand the potential of practice-based interprofessional education initiatives. RÉSUMÉ Contexte : Les activités de formation interprofessionnelle sont répandues dans les programmes d’études des professionnels de la santé au Canada. Les étudiants développent des rôles collaboratifs grâce à des programmes structurés sur les campus; cependant, on ne sait pas comment les équipes de fournisseurs de soins de santé font participer les apprenants en milieu hospitalier. Objectif : Étudier comment des professionnels de disciplines variées décrivent les attentes et les expériences liées à la collaboration avec les étudiants en pharmacie qui se joignent à leur équipe pour se former. Méthodes : Les membres de l’équipe mixte d’une unité de formation clinique en médecine aiguë ont été interviewés selon un guide d’entretien semi-directif. Les participants ont décrit leurs rencontres avec des stagiaires en pharmacie et ont communiqué leurs attentes concernant les rôles collaboratifs des étudiants dans le domaine des soins aux patients. Les enregistrements audio des entretiens ont été retranscrits et codés indépendamment par 2 chercheurs qui ont synthétisé les données et utilisé la méthode d’analyse de modèles pour en dériver les thèmes. Résultats : Quatorze membres de l’équipe provenant de diverses disciplines ont été recrutés. Les descriptions des rôles collaboratifs offertes par les participants ont été organisées en 2 thèmes principaux : les étudiants en pharmacie « informateurs » et les étudiants « passerelles ». Un troisième thème d’intégration, « l’engagement », englobait la façon dont les membres de l’équipe décrivaient les stagiaires en pharmacie jouant ces rôles. Les membres de l’équipe recherchaient l’expertise des étudiants en pharmacie en matière de médicaments (par exemple, dosage, compatibilités), et les médecins s’appuyaient souvent sur leur familiarité avec les données d’études pour guider les choix de traitement. Les non-médecins tiraient parti, eux, des échanges entre les étudiants en pharmacie et les médecins pour comprendre ce processus décisionnel et informer leurs propres soins aux patients. Les comptes rendus des consultations des étudiants en pharmacie avec les membres de l’équipe pour l’évaluation des patients ou pour accéder à d’autres connaissances multidisciplinaires étaient peu fréquents. Conclusions : Les attentes de la plupart des membres de l’équipe à l’égard des étudiants en pharmacie en termes de rôle de collaborateur manquaient d’engagement de routine ou de prise de décision partagée. Ces points de vue représentent des défis pour le développement des compétences en soins collaboratifs dans l’apprentissage en milieu de travail, qui pourraient être abordés par des exercices interprofessionnels intentionnels confiés par les précepteurs. Une étude plus approfondie est nécessaire pour comprendre le potentiel des initiatives de formation interprofessionnelle fondées sur la pratique.

Abstract:

Abstract: The project’s goal is to provide a facility for managing medicine stock. It is intended for all items found within the pharmacy. This project illustrates the design and implementation of that pharmacy, which today emphasizes management as the most crucial component. It simplifies stock management while also providing sophistication to the user. It enriched pharmaceutical sector management in India because pharmaceutical management is very important in our country for patient safety through pharmacy. The pharmaceutical supply system, for example, incorporates order placement, receiving, and storing of pharmaceutical products via inventory management software that is accessible via smartphones. The pharmacy's entire data set is analyzed, including medicine, pharmaceutical instruments, and inventory management software. We must consider a practical method for effectively managing your medical store, such as an inventory system. A well-managed chemist can provide significant benefits to your company. Proper drug storage is critical for keeping track of your inventory and avoiding shortages. As a result, you can ensure that your pharmaceutical business is long-term efficient and profitable.

Abstract:

Pharmacy students at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy’s regional campus were exposed to the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), a volunteer-based network that organizes locally to improve the health and safety of their communities. The school partnered with the local Medical Reserve Corps to provide students’ opportunities to fulfill co-curricular requirements and facilitate an application-based learning environment for public health concepts. The objective of the study was to explore the relationship between volunteering in the MRC and pharmacy students’ ability to meet educational outcomes and reinforce beliefs about their profession’s role in public health. Twenty-one students completed a survey addressing their ability to meet educational outcomes and identify the role of pharmacists in public health. Pharmacy students strongly agreed their past participation (mean 4.57) and future volunteering (mean 4.48) within the MRC would continue to help them better understand their role in public health. Pharmacy students strongly agreed (means ranging from 4.43 to 4.71) that they were able to fulfill educational outcomes related to knowledge, skills, and attitudes pharmacy graduates should possess. The positive responses gathered warrants expanding the partnership to include more student healthcare disciplines as well as looking for further opportunities to engage students in public health initiatives. Pharmacy schools should look to adopt similar partnerships with MRC units.

Abstract:

Background: A large community pharmacy chain implemented a new digital platform to eliminate the need for patients to fill out a traditional vaccine consent form in the pharmacy. The new digital vaccine consent form allowed patients to complete the form online, where it was transmitted directly to the pharmacy’s network. Objectives: To identify the characteristics of patients who used an online digital vaccine consent form to receive vaccinations and to evaluate patient satisfaction and confidence in utilizing the digital vaccine consent form to receive pharmacy services. Methods: This three-month prospective study was conducted in the Mid-Atlantic division of a large community pharmacy chain. A 16-question survey was developed using information from the literature to collect demographic information and patient confidence and satisfaction with the digital vaccine consent form. An email was sent to pharmacy staff containing instructions on the procedure for posting a recruitment flyer, distributing the survey post-vaccination, and how to return completed surveys. Univariate and bi-variate analysis were conducted. Results: Thirty-six participants responded to the survey, majority of participants were female (56%). Two patients used the digital vaccine consent form; both used because it was more convenient and were likely to use the form again. For those who did not use the digital vaccine consent form, 32% feel somewhat unconfident in using digital technologies for pharmacy services. A majority of patients prefer to be notified about new online services by email (39%) or advertisements in the pharmacy (31%). When asked the likelihood of using the digital vaccine consent form in the future, majority stated unlikely (34%) or neutral (25%). Conclusions: Most participants did not utilize the new digital vaccine form. This provides an opportunity to further engage patients on the availability and use of the digital vaccine consent form in order to advance digital technologies for pharmacy services.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the possible enablers and barriers of value co-creation processes in pharmacy, with the aim of enriching previous managerial and organisational contributions in the pharmacy management domain. Design/methodology/approach Building upon the interpretative contributions provided by the service logic and systems thinking approaches, this paper proposes a multi-disciplinary conceptual framework to analyse enablers and barriers in the value co-creation process. The findings are analysed using a semi-structured survey completed by employees involved in pharmacy management which were verified by structural equation modelling to allow us to determine the relevance of the findings in a changing social and economic environment, improve skills and capabilities and analyse competitors. Findings This paper offers an exploratory picture of the opinions of the employees involved in pharmacy management, focussing on possible enablers and barriers for value co-creation and their correlation with pharmacy revenues. Research limitations/implications The reflections and empirical research herein are the first of many studies investigating research pathways supplying both providers’ and users’ perceptions in the pharmacy domain about the value co-creation process. Practical implications The empirical evidence shows the relevance of some dimensions in defining opportunities and barriers for value co-creation process and – consequentially – pharmacy’s economic performances. Originality/value This paper combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to enrich the theoretical and practical contributions to the field of value co-creation processes.

Abstract:

This study describes a hospital pharmacy's initiative in tracking the progress of its clinical quality-improvement programs. Using first a manual system and then an online program for tracking pharmacy consultations, information on pharmacy performance quality was collected for a two-year period. Pharmacy consultations increased from 43 in February 1999 to 266 in December 1999, peaking at 402 in August 2000. Consultations increased during each month of the year 2000 compared with the corresponding month of 1999. The majority (33%) of consultations were order clarifications, followed by drug information consults (23%), patient care encounters (13%), pharmacokinetic consults (8%), therapeutic consults (7%), renally excreted drug monitoring (4%), and consultations involving duplicate unnecessary therapy, formulary conversion, and interactions/compatability (all at 3%). Antibiotic regimen change (2%) and allergy/disease state contraindication (1%) were the least frequent types of consultations. The online tracking system provided more detail than the manual tracking system. This detail can be used to target goals and demonstrate pharmacy progress to hospital committees and accreditation agencies.

Abstract:

De lege lata running pharmacies is a special type of economic activity. On the one hand, a pharmacy is a public healthcare institution (Art. 86 (1) of the Act of 6 September 2001 - Pharmaceutical Law), and the activities undertaken in it have a fundamental impact on the basic values, i.e. human life and health. On the other hand, an entrepreneur running a pharmacy (the so-called pharmaceutical entrepreneur) is an economic entity, which operates on a competitive market and desires to make a profit. Due to the protection of public health, the activity of running pharmacies (the so-called pharmaceutical activity) is a subject to numerous restrictions resulting from the regulations of the broadly understood pharmaceutical law. The pharmaceutical entrepreneur does not fully use the freedom of economic activity. An interesting example of such restriction is the detailed regulation of the conditions to be met by real estate included in the so-called pharmaceutical enterprise, constituting a generally accessible pharmacy. In current legal status, a pharmacy may be operated only in a premises specially prepared for this purpose, meeting the requirements set out in Art. 97 of the Pharmaceutical Law, as well as in the implementing acts to this provision, i.e. in the regulation of the Minister of Health of 26 September 2002 on the list of rooms included in the primary and auxiliary areas of a pharmacy and the regulation of the Minister of Health of 30 September 2002 on detailed requirements with which the pharmacy premises should correspond. This real estate includes a primary area and an auxiliary area. From the point of view of health protection, the most important room included in the primary area is the expeditionary chamber, within which access should be provided for disabled people. The auxiliary area of the pharmacy premises includes technical and social facilities for the pharmacy. If a pharmacy entrepreneur conducts the sale by mail order of medicinal products, it is also necessary to separate out a place in the pharmacy’s premises for the preparation of goods for shipment. Due to the wide catalog of the so-called pharmacy activities involving various types of activity, e.g. trade (sale of medicinal products and other goods), manufacturing (preparation of medication) and service (pharmaceutical services, pharmaceutical care), de lege ferenda it seems necessary to distinguish in the premises of the pharmacy, the room ensuring respect for the intimacy and dignity of the patient during providing health care services.

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose This report describes a health-system pharmacy’s response to a natural disaster while staff members simultaneously prepared for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. By detailing our experience, we hope to help other institutions that are current facing or could encounter similar crises. Summary In early March 2020, a tornado destroyed the health system’s warehouse for storage of most clinical supplies, including personal protective equipment and fluids. The pharmacy purchasing team collaborated with suppliers and manufacturers to recover losses and establish alternative storage areas. Days later, the pharmacy department was forced to address the impending COVID-19 pandemic. Key elements of the COVID-19 response included reducing the potential for virus exposure for patients and staff; overcoming challenges in sourcing of staff, personal protective equipment, and medications; and changing care delivery practices to maintain high-quality patient care while maximizing social distancing. The pharmacy department also created distance learning opportunities for 70 pharmacy students on rotations. After an initial plan, ongoing needs include adjustment in patient care activities if significant staff losses occur, when and how to resume clinical activities, and how to best utilize the resources accumulated. Elements of practice changes implemented to reduce COVID-19 threats to patients and pharmacy personnel have proven beneficial and will be further evaluated for potential continuation. Conclusion The pharmacy department’s efforts to respond to a natural disaster and unprecedented pandemic have proven successful to this point and have illuminated several lessons, including the necessity of cohesive department communication, staff flexibility, prioritization of teamwork, and external collaboration.

Abstract:

The present study aims to explore the perceptions among pharmacy practitioners in Libya on the importance of social pharmacy education. A qualitative methodology was employed to conduct this study. Using a purposive sampling technique, a total of ten Libyan registered pharmacists were interviewed. Based on the content analysis of the interviews, two major themes emerged, namely the understanding of social pharmacy education and the need for incorporating social pharmacy courses into the pharmacy education curriculum. The majority of the respondents knew about the concept. Of those that had no prior knowledge of this term, half of them expressed interest in knowing more about it. There was a positive perception of introducing social pharmacy into the undergraduate curricula among the respondents, and they believed that it is necessary for future pharmacists to know about social pharmacy components. The findings from the pharmacy practitioners??evaluation suggest the need to incorporate social pharmacy courses into the curricula of all pharmacy schools in Libya.

Abstract:

Pharmacy being a vast field has a lot to offer. However, it takes diligent work, proper planning, and the ability to choose the right option. Considering the value of a Pharm. D degree, it is recommended that the candidates pick the best college that focuses equally on theoretical as well as experiential postulates. After completion and during the course Pharm D candidate may provide the clinical pharmacy services in the hospital, work in the areas of Clinical research organizations (CRO), Pharmacovigilance, Pharmaco-economics, community services, research and academics. As a summary, it can be expected that the Pharmacists, i.e., Pharm D would play a major role in Indian health care system in future. This course will give an opportunity to pharmacists to work more prominently in Indian health care system. A poll conducted on LinkedIn Poll on the subject matter whether Pharm D (Doctor of Pharmacy) professionals have skill in 1. Prescribing Drugs 2. Drug interaction 3. Drug dose 4. Patient counselling has shown more positive responses, which is a good note for the future of Pharm D profession in India.

Abstract:

Background: Community pharmacies are well placed to provide public-health interventions within primary care settings. This study aimed to establish the general public’s perceptions of community pharmacy-based public-health services in the UK by designing a structured questionnaire to assess the barriers and facilitators to optimizing this role. Methods: A standardized questionnaire was developed informed by the literature, additional semi-structured interviews, and synthesis of key findings with the authors’ previous research based on data generated from eight focus groups. The original 42-item questionnaire was distributed online from May to June 2021 via social media platforms to capture the views of non-regular pharmacy users. Following exploratory factor analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha analysis, total Likert scale response scores were calculated. Results: Of the 306 responders, 76.8% were female with a mean age of 34.5 years (SD = 15.09). The most prevalent pharmacy use reported was 1–2 times a year (28.1%). Exploratory factor analysis revealed four scales: Expertise, Role in Public Health, Privacy, and Relationship (18 items) with acceptable internal consistency and good face and content validity. Awareness of well-established pharmacy services was high; however, responders demonstrated poor awareness of public-health-related services and low recognition of pharmacy expertise for this role. A lack of an established relationship with community pharmacies and privacy concerns were also perceived barriers. Conclusions: Based on these findings, considerable effort is needed to increase public awareness and address these concerns if strategic plans to utilize community pharmacy in the delivery of public-health policy are to be successful. The PubPharmQ provides a novel, structured questionnaire to measure the public’s perceptions of community pharmacy’s role in public health.

Abstract:

Lean is widely applied in manufacturing and service sectors. Lean's contribution to the healthcare sector is significant study in reducing medical costs and increasing customer satisfaction. Excessive overcrowding and overloading in some units such as: emergency unit, endoscopy unit, imaging unit, inpatient ward, pharmacy, etc. are major problems. Of which, pharmacy is the unit where the outpatients to receive the medicine, for payment progressing and receive medication order from other units. It is a bad experience and being uncomfortable to the patient to spend more time to receive the medication after a long way of many evaluations. Moreover than that, crosscontamination may cause from different patients once many patients are gathering at one place. Therefore, overcoming and overcrowding at the Pharmacy should be a prioritied solving. The topic “Lean application for the Pharmcy in Medication Administration to outpatients who have Health Insurance at Hoan My SaiGon Hospital” will improve on waiting time and provide an efficient healthcare service to the patients. This article demonstrates on DMAIC progressing and how to improve on waiting time for the outpatient who has Health Inurance at the Pharmacy of Hoan My Sai Gon General Hospital. The article will be included minitab software to analyze data and tools in Lean Six Sigma in the DMAIC progressing (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).

Abstract:

By surveying clients of pharmacy organizations, we've analyzed quality of service. It was found that pharmaceu-tical specialists do not always inform pharmacy visitors about the regimen and doses of the drug (MP), the rules for storing it at home, and about interactions with other drugs; most buyers find it difficult to answer the question of what is the International Nonproprietary Name of a Medicinal Product (INN) and how synonyms and ana-logues differ from each other; visitors to pharmacies are not always provided with information about the availa-bility of medicinal products from different manufacturers and medicinal products with different prices; in most cas-es, if the secondary packaging is violated, the pharmacy customers are not given instructions (a copy of the in-structions) on the use of the dispensed drug. A standard operational procedure "Order of realization of medicines without a prescription" was developed on the basis of received data.

Abstract:

The pharmacovigilance system aimed at ensuring the safety of medicines has been functioning in Russia since 1997. However, at the moment, an important part of this system, pharmacy organisations, is not sufficiently involved in pharmacovigilance activities. Pharmacy personnel may be not prepared to collect information on adverse reactions associated with the use of medicinal products and submit it to regulatory authorities. The reason is not only that their knowledge of pharmacovigilance is insufficient, but also that little attention is paid in the educational process to the development of dialectical thinking, which is necessary for successful problem-solving. The available literature does not cover the importance of dialectical thinking as a professional competency of a pharmacy employee sufficiently well.The aim of the study was to substantiate the need in the development of dialectical thinking in employees of pharmacy organisations in order to increase their participation in the pharmacovigilance system.Materials and methods: 166 employees of pharmacies in Kazan were surveyed on the implementation of pharmacovigilance in pharmacy organisations. The authors used Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient to assess the extent of association between the variables identified in the survey (pharmacy’s standing in the pharmacovigilance system, respondents’ competence in pharmacovigilance, their familiarity with pharmacovigilance documentation, adverse reaction reporting, and so forth).Results: the majority of respondents perceive the importance of pharmacies for the pharmacovigilance system as medium (46.99%) and low (17.47%); the same is true for the level of pharmacovigilance development in pharmacies (45.63 and 27.5% of the respondents respectively). According to the correlation analysis, pharmacy employees do not associate the level of pharmacovigilance development in their pharmacy with their competence, which is characteristic of a dialectical failure. Most respondents tend to exaggerate the role of executive authorities, medical organisations, and pharmaceutical companies in the pharmacovigilance system and underestimate the role of pharmacies and pharmacy staff (only 17.62% of the respondents assign this role to pharmacies), which may be the reason for failing to fulfil pharmacovigilance duties and passing the responsibility to other parties to the circulation of medicinal products.Conclusions: according to the consolidated results, pharmacy employees may not consider themselves to be leading implementers of legislative initiatives, causally related to the effectiveness of pharmacovigilance system as a whole. Consequently, there is a need to form dialectical thinking in pharmacy employees within the framework of educational programmes. It will contribute to the development of reflection on their efforts in ensuring the safety of medicines and increase the effectiveness of their participation in pharmacovigilance activities.

Abstract:

Long-term continuing education programs have been a key factor in shifting toward more patient-centered clinical pharmacy services. This narrative review aims to describe the development of Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) Pharmacy’s in-house Comprehensive Medication Review Training Program (CMRTP) and how it has impacted clinical pharmacy services in HUS. The CMRTP was developed during the years 2017–2020. The program focuses on developing the special skills and competencies needed in comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs), including interprofessional collaboration and pharmacotherapeutic knowledge. The program consists of two modules: (I) Pharmacist-Led Medication Reconciliation, and (II) CMR. The CMRTP includes teaching sessions, self-learning assignments, medication reconciliations, medication review cases, CMRs, a written final report, and a self-assessment of competence development. The one-year-long program is coordinated by a clinical teacher. The program is continuously developed based on the latest guidelines in evidence-based medicine and international benchmarking in cooperation with the University of Helsinki. With the CMRTP, we have adopted a more patient-centered role for our clinical pharmacists and remarkably expanded the services. This program may be benchmarked in other countries where the local education system does not cover clinical pharmacy competence well enough and in hospitals where the clinical pharmacy services are not yet very patient-oriented.

Abstract:

Objective: To document the additional competencies that a well-trained pharmacy technician, with no previous oncology pharmacy training or experience, needs to practice effectively in an oncology pharmacy; and to develop a form to document the training of oncology pharmacy technicians at our institution. Design: From September 1, 1997, to November 1, 1997, the oncology pharmacist and the oncology pharmacy technicians developed a list of pharmacy technician competencies that were believed to be unique to pharmacy technician practice in an oncology pharmacy. Information from MEDLINE searches, drug manufacturer materials, and reference books was used to support the competencies identified. Setting: This project was conducted at Brooke Army Medical Center, a 450-bed teaching and research institution of the US Army Medical Department. Results: Twenty-five oncology pharmacy technician competencies were documented. This list was made into a form for inclusion in each oncology pharmacy technician's competency-based assessment folder and for use in training of future oncology pharmacy technicians. Conclusions: There are a significant number of additional competencies that a well-trained pharmacy technician needs in order to practice effectively in our institution's oncology pharmacy. The identification of these additional competencies facilitated the development of a form to document the training of oncology pharmacy technicians.

Abstract:

Pharmacists are competent to promote the proper use of medicines. According to the International Pharmaceutical Federation, pharmacists must develop competence in sports pharmacy and the contents of the World Anti-Doping Agency code. This explorative study aimed to identify the status of sports pharmacy in pharmacy education in Norway and competence in sports pharmacy among Norwegian pharmacy students. The study curricula of pharmacy education were examined for the content of sports pharmacy. An online questionnaire was also developed and distributed among pharmacy students. The anonymous survey collected demographic information and data on competence in sports pharmacy. Data from 122 participants were analyzed. Only 22.5% of pharmacy students had acquired a form of training in sports pharmacy and 91.7% wished to gain higher competence. In total, 40.2% of respondents were uncomfortable in advising athletes and trainers on medication use in sports. Study year was found to correlate with competence level with a significant difference between the 3rd year (bachelor) and 5th year (master) students. Age, institution, and number of years engaged in sports were not associated with competence level. The inclusion of sports pharmacy in pharmacy programs holds practical relevance for enhancing competency levels. This implementation can be realized through the integration of sports pharmacy modules and/or the incorporation of research-based activities.
