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:

Abstract Background Nowadays, pharmacists are expected to focus not only on dispensing medicines but also on the wellness of the patient. In some developed countries a pharmacist is clearly defined as a health care professional that can make a contribution to improving the general health of the population. Objective To assess the readiness of Polish pharmacy staff to engage in health promotion and educational activities. Setting Community pharmacies in Poland. Method The study group consisted of 308 pharmacy staff (248 pharmacists and 60 pharmacy technicians) employed in Polish pharmacies. The survey questionnaire referred to three domains: systemic solutions for health promotion, readiness of pharmacy staff as a professional group to promote health, personal readiness to promote health. Responses about pharmacy staff’s readiness to promote health were scored using a 10-point scale. Scale reliability for all items (overall readiness), and for items within the three domains separately, were tested using Cronbach’s α and average inter-correlation coefficient among the items. Main outcome measure Pharmacy staff’s readiness to promote health (the questionnaire containing 32 items). Results The overall readiness of pharmacy staff to promote health was rather low (average of 4.6 ± 1.5 in 1–10 scale). The highest scores were obtained for pharmacy staff’s personal readiness to promote health (average of 5.5 ± 1.8) which was neutral on the scale. The lowest scores were obtained for systemic solutions for health promotion (average of 3.6 ± 1.4). Readiness of pharmacy staff as a professional group was ranked in the middle (average 4.8 ± 1.8). Surveyed pharmacy staff rated their readiness to promote health in the work environment significantly higher than promoting health in the local community. Female and younger pharmacy staff as well as those with job seniority of less than 5 years, or pharmacy technicians assessed their readiness to promote health significantly higher than others. Readiness to promote health was higher among pharmacy staff working in pharmacies employing up to 3 staff members and at pharmacies with over 200 customers daily. Conclusions The overall readiness of pharmacy staff to promote health was low, especially in the domain of systemic solutions in health promotion.

Abstract:

PURPOSE. Study of the potential of pharmacy chains for the development of pharmaceutical literacy of the population through Internet and online resources. METHODS. The objects of the analysis were the Internet sites and online services of the largest pharmacy chains and services for remote ordering of pharmacy assortment goods (TOP 20). The basis for inclusion in the analysis was the data of the analytical agencies DSM Group, RNC Pharma and AlphaRM. Methods of criteria, logical, comparative and content analysis were used to conduct the study. The authors have developed their own evaluation scale focused on evaluating the content of the Internet sites of pharmacy chains in relation to the information and educational component for the population. RESULTS. Based on the consolidation of data from 3 analytical agencies, the final list of objects of analysis included 18 pharmacy chains and 3 services for remote ordering of pharmacy assortment goods. The average score on the evaluation scale for the totality of pharmacy chains was 9.13±0,74 out of 23 possible. The presence of websites and telephone help service for all objects of research, their features are revealed. The assessment of the availability and information content of mobile applications of pharmacy chains was carried out. The analysis of the information content of pharmacy networks in social networks and Internet messengers was carried out. Conclusions are made about the quantitative and qualitative component of the service for the population "Question – answer". The presence and features of information and educational materials for the population on the Internet sites of pharmacy chains are analyzed. A study of instructions for the medical use of medicines was conducted: quantitative components, relevance, compliance with the State Register of Medicines of the Russian Federation. CONCLUSION. The conducted research allowed us to draw conclusions about the insufficient degree of involvement of pharmacy chains in the process of pharmaceutical education of the population and the insignificant use of the possibility of influence of pharmacy chains on the development of pharmaceutical literacy of the population through Internet resources. The article provides recommendations on possible ways to fully develop pharmaceutical education of the population in the Internet space.

Abstract:

Objective Estonian innovative electronic solutions have long been leading the way in the healthcare sector. This article aims to give an overview of all e-solutions and their usability in community pharmacies in Estonia and how they compare and operate with the wider e-health system. Methods A comprehensive literature review was conducted on publicly accessible information regarding Estonian e-health and electronic community pharmacy solutions. Findings While Estonian e-health system, including the e-prescription system is developed and maintained by the nationally funded Health and Wellbeing Infosystem Center, community pharmacy owners have established many noteworthy systems such as the e-pharmacist decision-support system, commodities info systems, online pharmacies, a telehealth prescription reminder service, and an automated dosage dispense system. Some pharmacies are collaborating with private healthcare service providers to allow quick and easy prescription renewal through an electronic channel. Conclusion Different electronic systems have overall greatly improved Estonian pharmacy services, accuracy and flow of consultations, and accessibility of medicines. In some cases, more support and active involvement is still needed from government agencies for full implementation.

Abstract:

Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare professionals and they are often involved in managing diarrhea symptom. Aim of the study was to evaluate the practices of Republic of Armenia pharmacy employees when managing diarrhea, with specific focus on medicine dispensing, pharmaceutical care and also consumer preferences about medicines. The survey was conducted among 284 pharmacy employees selected randomly sampling during 2019-2021. Primary information was collected using a questionnaire. Pharmacy employee in Armenia was asked about their knowledge and dispensing recommendations to manage diarrhea. On each question is attached diagram or table. The results were analyzed with SPSS statistical software, version 12.0. Diarrhea is considered a common symptom, about which patients very often seek the advice of a pharmacy staff. Pharmacy employees dispense a large number of drugs for diarrhea every day. The most common medicines recommended by them were Antimotelities, then Probiotics, Intestinal adsorbent, Antibiotics, Oral rehydration solutions and Antimicrobial. The most common demanded medicines by consumers were also Antimotelity medicines, Antibiotics, then Probiotics, Intestinal adsorbent, oral rehydration solutions and Antimicrobial. Pharmaceutical advice given by pharmacy staff on medicine use and side effects was poor. In question what are the major side effects of medicines you are offered, most pharmacy staff (55%) did not respond, 20% of pharmacy employees noted side effects on the gastrointestinal system, 7% on the nervous system. 8% of pharmacy employees noted allergic reaction and 10% other different side effects. According to the study, the majority of pharmacy employees receive information about over-the-counter drugs of for diarrhea from sources on the Internet. Only few participants used formularies, standard tables, professional books and lectures. It is important to improve pharmacy employees’ knowledge in the area of Pharmaceutical care during minor illnesses such as diarrhea and to develop pharmaceutical care algorithms that will help the pharmacy employees in consumer consultation.

Abstract:

Objective: The literature reports that Cadmium (Cd) is highly toxic to human body and dental tissues. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigating solutions used in root canal treatment are composed of several metals. However, there is no study regarding the presence of Cd in these solutions. This study aimed to verify the existence of Cd on 2.5% NaOCl solutions proceeding from different origins, being to date the first of the kind.Methods: Three solutions of 2.5% NaOCl from different origins were assessed in relation to the chlorine content and the presence/amount (mg/L) of cadmium by the Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) test. Oxidation-Reduction Titration (OR) method was performed to quantify the available chlorine. The types of NaOCl solutions were from: i) hand manipulated at a pharmacy, ii) industrialized and commercialized at a dental supply store and iii) industrialized and commercialized at a grocery supermarket.Results : The ASV test showed the amount of cadmium was 0.14mg/L for solutions coming from the pharmacy and the supermarket, and 0.13 mg/L for the solution coming from the dental supply store. OR method found the following amount of available chlorine: 1.15% and 1.52% and 2.24% NaOCl for solutions proceeding from the pharmacy, dental supply store and supermarket, respectively.Conclusion : All samples presented levels of Cd above the permissible limits stated by the legislation from where the study was conducted (0.01 mg/L).

Abstract:

Abstract In Singapore, while many older people cannot read English, prescription medication labels (PMLs) are predominantly dispensed in English. This qualitative study documented the challenges faced and solutions employed by users (i.e. older Singaporeans) and dispensers (i.e. pharmacy staff) of PMLs. In total, 30 in-depth interviews were conducted; 20 were equally divided between older Singaporeans (≥60 years) who could read English and those with limited/no English reading ability, and 10 were conducted with pharmacy staff across 6 polyclinics. The audio-taped interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. The interviews with older Singaporeans and pharmacy staff revealed similar challenges in using PMLs. The first challenge related to reading and understanding PMLs by older people, mainly due to their limited English proficiency (LEP) or illiteracy. Consequently, older Singaporeans often relied on family members, domestic workers or pharmacy staff to help them interpret PMLs. Specifically, to address LEP, pharmacy staff reported translating PML instructions verbally and also handwriting them on PMLs. For illiterate patients, pharmacy staff reported drawing illustrations on PMLs to communicate key medication information. The second challenge related to PML readability, due to small font size. To address this, pharmacy staff routinely re-wrote medication information on PMLs in larger handwriting. Such improvised solutions by pharmacy staff to address the challenges faced by older Singaporeans in using PMLs indicate a pressing need for system-level improvements to PMLs. Improvements such as standardised and legible bilingual medication instructions and/or pictograms would appreciably facilitate medication counselling and allow for better understanding of PMLs by older Singaporeans.

Abstract:

Background Singapore General Hospital (SGH) Pharmacy department set up a novel 24-h medication locker service in November 2019 to serve hospital staff on work shifts who were unable to collect medication within the pharmacy operating hours. However, the initial uptake rate was modest. Objectives Primary objective was to increase the daily locker service uptake by staff from five lockers to 42 lockers (100%) in 6 months, starting from June 2020. Secondary objectives include exploring the cost savings and impact of the locker service on the pharmacy’s operational efficiency, as well as compare the medication collection experience of hospital staff using the locker service and in the pharmacy. Methods FOCUS-PDSA was the adopted QI methodology. Two Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were used to implement the final identified solutions. PDSA cycle one focused on improving publicity and educational efforts. PDSA cycle two then focused on expanding the service to include the entire hospital campus staff and setting up a self-registration booth at the pharmacy entrance. Results The primary objective of achieving 100% locker utilization was attained in October 2020, with daily average service uptake rate increasing from 12.6 at baseline to 49.8 by the end of PDSA cycle 2. Annual pharmacist manpower savings of 0.88 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) was also achieved. Locker service users gave a higher average satisfaction score compared to those who collected from the pharmacy. Conclusion Project SAPPORO successfully increased the daily locker service, providing hospital campus staff with increased convenience and positive medication collection experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

The patient safety problem has been well established for over 20 years in the United States (U.S.), and there is a recognized focus on ensuring that health professions’ trainees receive explicit education in various patient safety principles and practices. While the literature provides examples of different approaches towards patient safety education for pharmacy students, there are few that focus on first-year pharmacy students. This educational observational study describes the implementation and evaluation of two 20 min patient safety learning activities integrated into a required pharmacy skills lab course. The first learning activity utilized a mock prescription and patient safety checklist that had students identify patient safety problems on the prescription, followed by a group discussion of implications for the patient. The second learning activity used images of common safety problems with a facilitated group discussion to have students identify systems-based solutions to those problems. Our study’s findings revealed that students were able to identify basic patient safety problems and safety solutions, although some additional foundational information may be needed, particularly for students who may not have pharmacy work experience. Additional research is needed to continue building a literature base on patient safety education approaches, particularly for first-year pharmacy students.

Abstract:

Retaining people living with HIV (PLWH) in clinical care is a global priority to end the HIV epidemic. Community pharmacies in the United States have structural influences on the success or failure of retention in HIV care by supporting patients’ complex needs. However, to date, barriers to retention in care in the community pharmacy setting have not been examined beyond pharmacy services of medication therapy management. We utilized the patient-centered medical home model to examine the barriers to HIV care in the community pharmacy setting. We utilized semi-structured interviews to collect data from 15 participants: five PLWH, five community pharmacists, and five social workers from a midwestern state. Interview data were transcribed and analyzed using directed content analysis. Four key themes emerged regarding the barriers that impact utilization of community pharmacy services by PLWH: the perception of the role of community pharmacists in HIV care, perceptions of pharmacists’ HIV knowledge, perceptions of pharmacy operation and services, and negative experiences within the community pharmacy space. Participants’ perceptions of solutions for improving HIV care in the community pharmacy focused on improving the relationship between pharmacists and patients, ensuring that the community pharmacy is a private and safe space for patients, and having a diverse pharmacy staff that is equipped to take care of the diverse and marginalized HIV population, such as transgender people.

Abstract:

The rising costs of healthcare, increased chronic illnesses, and healthcare provider burnout has led to an environment desperate for scalable solutions to ease practice burdens. With a projected shortage in the number of primary healthcare providers available to provide team-based care, community-based pharmacy practitioners are accessible and eager to assist. In order to provide enhanced patient care services to aid their clinician colleagues, community-based pharmacists will have to transform their practices to support the provision of enhanced services and medication optimization in value-based payment models. The purpose of this article is to define how multiple factors in pharmacy, healthcare, technology and payment models aligned to create an opportunity for the Community Pharmacy Foundation and CPESN® USA to implement a nationwide community pharmacy practice model called ‘Flip the Pharmacy’. This new model aims to scale community pharmacy practice transformation and move beyond filling prescriptions at a moment-in-time to caring for patients over time through a 24-month step-wise program paired with in-person pharmacist coaching. Preliminary observations from the first six months of the program highlight community pharmacy as a site of care with community-based pharmacist practitioners providing and documenting targeted patient care interventions.

Abstract:

Effective communication is essential for healthcare providers, including pharmacy personnel, to ensure optimal patient care. This study explores the role of role-play as an instructional and evaluative tool in pharmacy education, focusing on its impact on communication skills. A cross-sectional survey involved 74 Semester 3 pharmacy students participating in role-play scenarios as patients and pharmacy personnel. Findings reveal a positive perception of role-play, with students recognizing its benefits in enhancing communication skills (mean: 4.01), confidence levels (mean: 3.93), and conflict resolution abilities (mean: 3.86). Students express a strong preference for the interactive (mean: 4.19) and collaborative nature of role-playing exercises (mean: 4.22). They emphasize the significance of communication skills in pharmacy practice and credit role-play for improving their understanding of effective communication (mean: 4.03). Identified challenges include concerns about time management (23.0%) and perceived inadequacies in acting skills (59.5%). Proposed solutions encompass providing clearer assignment details and flexible scenarios. Notably, 82.4% of participants advocate for the continued inclusion of role-play in the curriculum. In conclusion, this study underscores role-play as a valuable teaching and assessment tool in pharmacy education, fostering active learning and communication skill development. Addressing challenges and incorporating student suggestions into communication training can effectively prepare future pharmacy professionals for real-world patient interactions.

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose A prospective observational study was conducted to assess sterile compounding time and workforce requirements in a hospital pharmacy, resulting in development of staff benchmarking metrics. Methods The study was conducted in the IV room of a quaternary hospital over 2 periods totalling 7 weeks. Compounding was directly observed and timing data collected for each compounded sterile preparation (CSP). The primary objective was to assess CSP workload, compounding time requirements, and workforce requirements to enable development of a data-driven staffing benchmark. Results A total of 320 sterile product preparations were directly observed during the study. Overall, the average time to compound 1 CSP (including small- and large-volume parenteral solutions, chemotherapy CSPs, batched CSPs, and syringes) was 3.25 minutes. Chemotherapy CSPs had the longest average preparation time (17.74 minutes); batched CSPs had the shortest preparation time, at 1.90 minutes per unit. A safe workload analysis indicated that in an 8-hour shift, 1 pharmacy technician can safely prepare 253 batched CSPs; 148 preparations of SVP solutions, LVP solutions, and syringes combined; 31 parenteral nutrition solutions prepared using an automated device; or 29 chemotherapy preparations. Through extrapolation of these results, it was calculated that a hospital with a capacity of 100 beds would require 1.4 pharmacist full-time equivalents (FTEs) and 2.7 technician FTEs to meet its sterile compounding needs, with proportionate increases in those estimates for a 300-bed hospital. Conclusion Organizations wishing to use external benchmarking information need to understand data characterization, pharmacy services offered, automation, workflows, and workload before utilizing that information for workforce planning.

Abstract:

Abstract Abstract 900 Background: Epoetin use has been associated with a higher rate of death in selected groups of cancer and renal patients. The US FDA issued a physician advisory and a black box warning was added to the product labeling in March 2007. In July of 2007 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services restricted ESA reimbursement. The intent was to limit initiation and continuation of ESA therapy that could put certain patients at risk for adverse events or deleterious outcomes. We undertook a retrospective analysis of claims data for ESAs (epoetin and darbepoetin) to determine what impact, if any, these warnings had on prescribing behavior. Methods: Medco pharmacy claims data were reviewed for all available forms of ESAs dispensed through our Specialty Pharmacy. Eligible patients participating in the Specialty Pharmacy benefit program, and those known to have cancer, renal disease, or HIV were identified from June 2006 through May 2009. ESA users were defined as those to whom any ESA was dispensed through a pharmacy benefit during the target period. Proportion of ESA users by month per eligible patient population, and number of ESA prescriptions per user were determined over time. Drug cost for ESAs was calculated using average wholesale price (AWP) for all ESAs dispensed to the eligible population. Results: Patients continuously eligible during each 12 month period were 414,905 (6/06 – 5/07), 590,696 (6/07 – 5/ 08), and 731,501 (6/08 – 5/09). Over the 3 year analysis there was an apparent 59% reduction in proportion of eligible patients who received erythropoietin, and a 54% decrease in the number of ESA prescriptions per eligible patient population (coefficient of determination (r2) was 0.87). The number of ESA prescriptions per patient who was prescribed an ESA was not changed over time. Medical claims data, including those for red blood cell transfusions, were available for a subset of the eligible population in this study. In the population for whom these claims were reviewed there was no increase in transfusions, suggesting that the declining use of ESAs was not associated with an increase in the use of transfusions. Discussion: The intent of this study was to determine the impact of new guidelines on the prescribing pattern of physicians for ESAs. The findings demonstrate a reduction in the proportion of patients who are prescribed an ESA over the 3 year period, resulting in a significant reduction in the total pharmacy spend for these agents. There was no evidence that the number of prescriptions per patient decreased during the period. This study suggests that physicians have adopted the new health and safety information warnings with ESAs and adjusted prescribing habits. Disclosures: Lust: Medco Health Solutions, Inc: Employment.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK) solution is the most frequently used solution for the preservation of abdominal organs by leading transplant centers worldwide. The aim of the study was to investigate whether it is possible to prepare this kind of perfusion solution in the hospital pharmacy. In the hospital pharmacy setting we prepared HTK preservation solution and tested its quality, and in accordance with the obtained results recommended its shelf-life. Methods. A multicomponent HTK solution was prepared following standardized aseptic procedures for sterile products. Components of HTK solution were dissolved in water for injection under aseptic conditions and the obtained solution was sterilized by bacteriological membrane filtration (0,22 ?m). The quality of the produced solution was examined using physical and physico-chemical methods and biological tests. Following pharmacopoeial regulations, we examined clarity, pH value, sterility and performed testing on pyrogens. The content of the amino acids histidine and triptophan was determined by using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The concentrations of chloride ions were investigated by retitration method. Atomic absorption spectrometry and ion-exchange chromatography with conductometric detection were used for determining the level of magnesium and calcium ions and the concentrations of sodium and potassium ions in HTK solution, respectively. Results. It was shown that the quality of the prepared HTK solution complied with the regulation demands. Also, pH value of the solution as a function of storage temperature, remained in the physiological range (pH 7.4). Conclusion. According to the obtained results of physico-chemical and biological testing it can be concluded that in the hospital pharmacy setting with the applied technological procedure, we can produce HTK preservation solution of the required quality. Keeping of HTK preservation solution in a refrigerator at 4?C warrants its shelf-life of six months. .

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose To describe the innovative teaching practices, tools, and resources for remote learning developed by a school of pharmacy with a decentralized experiential program to empower and support preceptors in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Summary As the pandemic has continued, there have been significant shifts in pharmacy workflow, staffing, and patient care delivery. Pharmacy students are slowly being reintegrated into these learning environments. Although preceptors are willing and eager to teach, many lack the resources, tools, and support to create remote learning experiences at their facilities. The University of the Pacific Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy has a decentralized experiential education model in which faculty regional coordinators with clinical practices and diverse expertise are disseminated throughout California. This model allowed us to collaborate and understand preceptor needs from a local level. We created a preceptor COVID-19 guidance document, introduced innovative virtual playbooks to pivot up to 100% remote rotations, and promoted the layered learning model to integrate pharmacy residents into the remote teaching space. Communication and flexibility are key to ensure student and preceptor safety while maintaining high-quality advanced pharmacy practice experiences and preserving patient-student relationships in telehealth. Conclusion Overall, we successfully created innovative solutions and leveraged our decentralized experiential model to meet the teaching and learning demands during an unanticipated crisis. We continue to adapt and plan to assess the effectiveness of the tools by administering surveys of preceptors and pharmacy students.

Abstract:

Role-play refers to a situation that allows learners to examine realistic situations by interacting with other individuals in a controlled way to develop experience and try different strategies within a supported environment. Depending on the objective of the activity, learners may play a role that is related to their own or could take on an opposite part as well. In this study, the author sought to investigate the satisfaction and perception of pharmacy students toward role-playing. The study used a prospective study design and collected data from students at Princes Nourah bint Abdulrahman University (PNU). The researcher used a rubric that allowed the learners to select their responses as either “Poor,” “Average,” “Proficient,” or “Excellent.” The rubric was distributed to 6th level pharmacy students who experienced role-play for the first time in a classroom session. The findings showed that role play helped in the development of professional skills, recognized possible arguments and solutions, facilitated better understanding, developed the confidence of the learners, enhanced their communication skills, promoted effective discussion, and encouraged active participation. These observations were discussed in light of past studies that have focused on the domain of role-playing. Based on these findings, the study recommends the use of simulation and role-play in teaching pharmacy programs.

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose The objectives and strategies used by an ambulatory care action team operating within a large health system’s pharmacy incident command structure during the initial response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are discussed. Summary In a time of crisis, a pharmacy ambulatory action team was formed to provide ambulatory clinical pharmacy expertise and meet an immediate and ongoing need to limit nonemergent care during the COVID-19 pandemic. By building a strong communication infrastructure and partnership with ambulatory care providers, clinic medical and operational leaderships, clinical laboratory staff, and infusion centers, the team was able to swiftly execute solutions and respond to new issues and requests. Ambulatory care pharmacy practice continued to advance through provision of services to vulnerable patient populations with chronic conditions that were anticipated to experience gaps in care management during the COVID-19 pandemic. These efforts resulted in expansion of pharmacists’ involvement in collaborative drug therapy management, support of patients’ transition from in-clinic injection to home self-administration, provision of medication assistance support, and management of 1,300 patients via protocol-based warfarin management. Additionally, ambulatory pharmacy services in 15 primary care, anticoagulation, and specialty clinic sites were transitioned to telehealth. The ambulatory action team also implemented several strategies to manage medication therapy associated with COVID-19–related shortages and implemented electronic decision support to guide prescribing of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Conclusion Building a strong communication infrastructure and a pharmacy ambulatory action team were essential to respond to a crisis and continue ambulatory clinical pharmacy services expansion.

Abstract:

Although pharmacy employees’ involvement in patient education has great potential, the extent to which they actually provide cognitive services seems inadequate. Given the overburdening of the healthcare system and limited access to medical services due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic outbreak, this study aimed to evaluate the preparedness of Polish pharmacy employees for patient education on the new threat. The study was conducted using the mystery shopper method. Two interviewers phoned 90 randomly chosen community pharmacies throughout Poland and presented some inquiries on the SARS-CoV-2. Pharmacists devoted more time to patients than pharmacy technicians (2:22 vs. 1:54), and the information they provided was significantly more comprehensive (p = 0.006). The majority of respondents provided an evidence-based recommendation on prevention, symptoms, and management of SARS-CoV-2; however, the scope of advice significantly varied. Community pharmacy staff often expressed their concern about the lack of time to address patients’ questions adequately. No statistically significant differences were found in recommendations provided by chain and non-chain pharmacy staff. Obtained results seem to confirm the possibility of involving pharmacists in public health activities during a pandemic. Nevertheless, providing proper working conditions and adequate just-in-time learning solutions is crucial.

Abstract:

Background: While the pharmacy workforce is the third largest professional healthcare group worldwide, the pharmacy workforce landscape remains unclear in post-conflict areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Method: Key informants were selected for semi-structured interviews due to their role in providing pharmacy services in the selected country: the Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, and South Sudan. Transcripts from the interviews were anonymized, coded, and analyzed. Results: Nine participants were recruited (CAR: 2; DRC: 2; Ethiopia: 2; South Sudan: 3), and all except two were pharmacists. Conflict-specific challenges in pharmacy service delivery were identified as the following: unpredictable health needs and/or mismatched pharmaceutical supply, transport difficulties due to insecure roads, and shortage of pharmacy workforce due to brain drain or interrupted schooling. Barriers to health workforce retention and growth were identified to be brain drain as a result of suboptimal living and working conditions or remuneration, the perception of an unsafe work environment, and a career pathway or commitment duration that does not fit the diaspora or expatriate staff. Conclusion: To tackle the barriers of pharmacy health workforce retention and growth, policy solutions will be required and efforts that can bring about long-term improvement should be prioritized. This is essential to achieve universal health coverage and the targets of the sustainable development goals for conflict affected areas, as well as to “leave no one behind”.

Abstract:

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has revolutionized the provision of health services, often referred to as eHealth, benefiting community pharmacies that can offer new services in innovative formats, namely through telepharmacy. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of pharmacy professionals (i.e., pharmacists and pharmacy technicians) on the provision of new services. The study consisted of administering an online questionnaire to pharmacy professionals nationwide. The questionnaire was developed by the research team, based on focus group methodology, from which an inductive analysis led to the categories that made up the dimensions of the survey. Participants were 95 pharmacy professionals with a mean age of 33.69 years old (SD = 10.75). Almost 79% were women. The results show overall receptivity to the development of new services in community pharmacies. Suggestions for the development of the new services, conditions necessary for their implementation, potential obstacles, and strategies to promote adherence to the new services, among others, are identified. The knowledge thus acquired will help community pharmacies to develop innovative solutions in counselling, pharmacotherapy monitoring, and pharmacovigilance, for example, of herb/dietary supplement–drug adverse reactions and interactions. Based on this information, new services can become more accessible, namely through the use of ICTs.

Abstract:

Pharmacy installation is part of the service system that influences hospital quality standards, one of which is waiting time for pharmaceutical service. The waiting time at the Outpatient Pharmacy Installation of Hospital X exceeds the Hospital Minimum Service Standard and Hospital Quality Indicators, which is 50 minutes. This study aims to determine the root of the problem and the solution to the long waiting time for prescription drug services at Outpatient Pharmacy installations. This research is a case study with a search method for identifying the root of the problem, determining alternative solutions, and prioritizing the main solution. The long waiting time for finished drug services is caused by the lack of shifts of workers when poly peak times, the absence of flow information and appropriate SOPs when pharmaceutical prescription services run concurrently, and non-compliance by pharmacists with SOPs for pharmaceutical services. The main solution was to create flow information and a new SOP for outpatient prescription services.
