National Action Plan for Adverse Drug Event Prevention

ADEs account for one-third of hospital adverse events.

Outlines opportunities to advance patient safety with regard to the prevention of adverse events among three primary drug classes.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Targets for ADE Action Plan: Anticoagulants, Diabetes agents, Opiods. Conservative estimates indicate hospitalized patients experience 380,000 to 450,000 ADEs each year, with the largest majority attributable to anticoagulants and opiods. A significant proportion of ADEs resulted from unintentional overdoses or supratherapeutic effects (e.g. bleeding due to excessive anticoagulation). ADE Prevention is a patient safety priority.

The National Quality Strategy

Better Care: Improve the overall quality. Healthy People/Healthy Communities: Improve the

health of the U.S. population. Affordable Care: Reduce the cost of quality health

care.

The National Quality Strategy, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The National Quality Strategy was first published in March 2011 as the National Strategy for Quality Improvement in Health Care, and is led by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the National Quality Strategy was developed through a transparent and collaborative process with input from a range of stakeholders. More than 300 groups, organizations, and individuals, representing all sectors of the health care industry and the general public, provided comments. Based on this input, the National Quality Strategy established a set of three overarching aims that builds on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim®, supported by six priorities that address the most common health concerns that Americans face. To align with National Quality Strategy, stakeholders can use nine levers to align their core business or organizational functions to drive improvement on the aims and priorities. The National Quality Strategy pursues three broad aims. These aims will be used to guide and assess local, State, and national efforts to improve health and the quality of health care. •Better Care: Improve the overall quality, by making health care more patient-centered, reliable, accessible, and safe. •Healthy People/Healthy Communities: Improve the health of the U.S. population by supporting proven interventions to address behavioral, social and, environmental determinants of health in addition to delivering higher-quality care. •Affordable Care: Reduce the cost of quality health care for individuals, families, employers, and government.

Effective Communication and Coordination of Care

Improve EHR tools to enable provider access to real-time, integrated, linked pharmacy-laboratory data to facilitate seamless access to pertinent medication and laboratory results, for example, Support development of electronic flowsheets that

display trends in daily labs, concomitant medications, reversal medications, etc., that are specific to and can support optimal anticoagulation management

Support development of clinical decision support tools specific to anticoagulation management

Page 15: A SCORING SYSTEM IN THE EMR TO FACILITATE PHARMACIST ...€¦ · Anticoagulants – 7.2% While receiving anticoagulants, patients must be monitored closely to ensure effectiveness

Science-Driven Prevention and Treatment Promote a multidisciplinary, coordinated, and systematic

approach to inpatient anticoagulation management; for example, “Anticoagulation rounds”, pharmacist-/nurse-managed

anticoagulation services, “Anticoagulation Stewardship.” “culture of safety” in anticoagulation management

Better address safe use of anticoagulants commonly utilized in inpatient settings (e.g., heparin) and NOACs in nationally recognized health care quality/patient safety measures and in nationally recognized clinical guidelines

Presenter
Presentation Notes
We have made the case for the need to have a good anticoagulation monitoring system. We have seen a historical prospective of how monitoring and documentation was done so we can hopefully better appreciate where we are now. So how did I get started to build this scoring system. Spent some time rounding with pharmacists and looked at the tools they were currently using to identify their patients and what patients they were trying to identify. (TheraDoc). Using criteria they already had I began to build the rules to capture those patients. Also wanted to build the lists and reports to capture and provide useful information related to anticoagulation management.

Summary

The need to focus on anticoagulation monitoring to improve patient safety is well documented.

We have made significant improvement in the tools we have available for clinical monitoring.

An anticoagulation scoring system in the EMR can facilitate pharmacists clinical monitoring and documentation.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Developing an anticoagulation scoring system can require dedication of a significant amount of time to build, test, and tweak. Important for builders to have someone on staff to be a champion for the project to help test and troubleshoot the build. The time spent is well justified for improved patient safety and improved efficiency in monitoring. Also improved documentation can be used to report on pharmacist interventions. Information vs Knowledge.
