    Original Research PRACTICE-BASED RESEARCH Descriptive Analysis of Acceptance by Prescribers and Economic Benefit of Pharmacist Recommended Interventions in a Critical Care Unit YoonJung Lee, PharmD1, 2; Lana Gettman, PharmD2 1Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center; 2Harding University College of Pharmacy ABSTRACT Background: Pharmacist clinical intervention is defined as the action that identifies and prevents medication-related problems and optimizes patient’s medication therapy in cooperation with other healthcare professionals. Types of clinical interventions may vary, but each is patient specific. Few studies have focused on clinical pharmacists interventions in a critical care setting at a rural hospital. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess physician acceptance rate of pharmacist-recommended interventions in the critical care unit (CCU) at a rural hospital over five years and to evaluate the economic benefit of accepted pharmacist-recommended interventions over a one-year time period. Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review over a five-year time period. Each intervention was categorized and analyzed for acceptance or non-acceptance by the treating physician. Evaluation of economic benefit, cost saving and cost avoidance, for a one-year time period was performed. Results: A total of 1275 interventions were documented during study period. The average acceptance rate for documented interventions was 56%. The acceptance rate by physicians increased over the study period; with the acceptance rate in 2013 being statistically significantly higher than any other years. The overall cost saving for selected interventions was $432 for the one year. The overall cost avoidance of all accepted interventions for the one year was $453,339.36-$468,327.62.

In order to guarantee interoperability among the different ICT systems in the Pharmacy domain, it is important that all stakeholders (users, vendors, payers) agree on a set of common communication standards. The purpose of this White Paper is to identify the critical interoperability needs in the Pharmacy domain, describe the corresponding interoperability Use Cases and propose a set of communication standards to implement these Use Cases. The White Paper can serve as basis for the development of one or more IHE Pharmacy Integration Profiles. The document starts with an overview of the main business processes in the pharmacy domain, describing the workflow and the information flows. These business processes are the basis for describing the various Interoperability Use Cases.

The fourth survey was conducted in 2010, with data collected until January 2011. It is a pleasure for me to present in this booklet a summary of the results, which were published in a series in the EAHP’s official journal, European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy: Science and Practice (EJHP), in 2012 and 2013. The survey data are not presented question by question but rather are the- matically grouped into five chapters that encompass the spread of hospital pharmacy activity: 1. General frame and staffing; 2. Procurement and distribution; 3. Production and quality assurance; 4. Clinical services and patient safety; and, 5. Education and research In this way we hope to give a more concise overview without making concessions on the provision of detailed information by coun- try, by type, and by size of hospital. Where sensible and according to the quality of the data gathered, we also make some compari- sons to the results of the 2005 and 2000 surveys. Whilst the scale of difference in questions asked in the first EAHP survey (1995) is too high to allow comparisons with the 2010 data, it is still possible to track the developments in hospital pharmacy practice over the last decade.

    HOSPITAL PHARMACY OPERATIONS REPORT Introduction

    2020 HPORHOSPITAL PHARMACY OPERATIONS REPORT Introduction At Kit Check, we believe that tomorrow’s innovations come from thoroughly understanding the challenges of today. This solution-oriented model has helped our network of more than 700 hospitals achieve success through operational efficiency, patient safety, and medication visibility. We weren’t satisfied with turning to our own experiences and perspectives for answers, so we developed our proprietary annual survey to derive key insights and intelligence from pharmacy decision-makers. We think of the Hospital Pharmacy Operations Report survey as our road map forward—shedding light on the state of the industry to inform and equip leaders for what’s to come. Now entering its 7th consecutive year, the 2020 Hospital Pharmacy Operations Report (HPOR) once again takes us inside the minds of Hospital Pharmacy leaders. We’ll hear firsthand from those on the front lines of a global pandemic about how they experienced an unprecedented and unexpected year. We’ll learn how COVID-19 has challenged workflows, shifted priorities, and reshaped the future of the hospital pharmacy industry. In a year that stress-tested the entire drug supply chain, we’ll understand why pharmacy leaders are turning to new technologies to future-proof their operations.

We evaluate the literature on multiple ¯elds that are related to either the problem setting (e.g. performance measures or patient classes) or the technical features (e.g. solution technique or uncertainty incorporation). Since papers are pooled and evaluated in various ways, a diversi¯ed and detailed overview is obtained that facilitates the identi¯cation of manuscripts related to the reader's speci¯c interests.
