Perceptions of Pharmacists
How do others see us?
“They just count a few tablets”
“They just weigh and measure things”
“A bunch of shop-keepers”
“Tell me how and when to use the Medicine”
“Counter-prescribing”
“Not really health care practitioners – they’re
businessmen”
“Do you need a degree to be a pharmacist?”
Drivers for change
• Competence of health care practitioners
- Diploma to BSc to BPharm + Pre-registration +
registration
- Continuing Professional Development.
• Re-engineering of community medicine supply
- Provided by competent practitioners
- Recognition that dispensing is a technical function
• Informed general public – increased expectation
• Realisation that ………………….
Medicines are Dangerous
Clinical pharmacy– a key role
Pharmaceutical Care
“ A practice in which a practitioner takes
responsibility for a patient’s drug related
needs and holds him or herself
accountable for meeting these needs.”
Linda Strand 1997
Aims of
Pharmaceutical
Care
Effective drug

Improve
quality of life
Will the patient take
the therapy?
What does the
patient view as an
improved quality of
life?
A case
• 44 year old lady with fever and green sputum
and cough – no known previous medical history
– Diagnosed with upper resp. tract infection
• Prescribed:
– Co-Amoxiclav 1 tds
– Doxycycline 100mg D
– Prednisolone 40mg D
– Theophylline 200mg bd
– Omeprazole 20mg D
– Metoclopramide 10mg tds
– Salbutamol 2 puff inhale prn
Pharmaceutical problems
Common organisms for URTI?
Need for atypical organism ?
History of asthma – risk vs benefit?
History asthma – risk vs benefit
Need for acid suppression?
Why is she nauseous ?
Benefit of brochodilation?
Does she know what to take?
Will she take it?
Why did you choose to do this
course?
What do you envisage doing when
you become a pharmacist?
2 minutes talk to your neighbour and
then feedback
Question?
• Think of someone in your family or a friend
that has had something go “wrong” with their
medicines?
– Caused an adverse or unwanted effect ?
– Had medicines stopped when should have
continued?
– Not worked?
– What happened ?
– Could it have been avoided ?
Clinical pharmacy– a key role
Medical/medication errors in the UK
• Adverse events occur in 10% of admissions
• An estimated 850,000 adverse events a year
• Adverse events cost approximately £2 billion/yr
• The NHS pays £400 million clinical negligence
• Medication errors accounts for around a quarter
of the incidents which threaten patient safety
The Chief Medical Officer
An Organisation with a Memory
Department of Health (2000)
High Profile Examples
• A patient with leukaemia received Intrathecal vincristine
instead of intravenously. Died beginning of February
2001. 14th such case over the last 16 years.
• Patient being operated for a AAA received bupivicaine
intravenously rather than epidurally. Patient died 3 days
later.
• A 3 year old girl, who had a convulsion post flu vaccine.
Attended hospital to get “checked out”. Received nitrous
oxide instead of oxygen in casualty
High Profile Cases (Cont.)
• Elderly lady prescribed Methotrexate in 1997 for her
rheumatoid arthritis. Dose increased to 17.5mg
WEEKLY over a 6 month period.
• Jan 2000 patient undergoes right TKR in hospital. MTX
given as one tablet a week (only 2.5mg).
• 6th April 2000 patient asks GP to reduce number of
tablets “as in hospital”.
• Prescription for MTX 10mg/daily written and dispensed.
• 30th April patient dies.
Deaths from medicines in the UK
1999 - 2000 (ICD9 & 10 data)
A spoonful of sugar - Audit Commission (2001)
So drugs are safe ………………..
Photosensitivity from
Amiodarone
Severe extravasation of
amiodarone infusion
NSAID or COX-2 induced peptic ulcer
Goitre – Hypothyroidism
Secondary to Amiodarone
Bleeding due to
anticoagulation
Erythemal rash from penicillin – in patient with a previous
Known allergy/ adverse drug reaction
Necrotising fascititis – secondary to infection at site of IV injection
Acute Liver failure from Black Cohosh - herbal medicine
Human Error
(Mistakes, Slips, Lapses)
• Error is inevitable due to “our” limitations:
- limited memory capacity
- limited mental processing capacity
- negative effects of fatigue other stressors
• We all make errors all the time
• Generalised lack of awareness that errors occur
• Patients suffer adverse events much more often
than previously realised
• Errors often NOT immediately observed
The same error, even a minor
one, can have quite different
consequences in different
circumstances.

ampoule was frusemide”
(ICU RN after injecting 10mg
adrenaline)

patient and them receiving or taking their
medicine ?
• 2 minutes discuss with neighbor

Sources of Error
• Prescribing error - selecting the wrong or
inappropriate drug/dose/formulation/duration etc
• Communicating those instructions
• Supply error - timely; wrong drug, dose, route;
expired medicines, labelling.
• Administration error - timing; wrong route; wrong
rate/technique.
• Lack of user education - actions to take.

– Myocardial infarction: 37,500
– Asthma: 49,000
– Diabetes: 46,000
– Adverse Drug Events: 140,000
Reducing the risk of adverse
events
• Always
– include a detailed drug history in the consultation
• Only
– use drug treatment when there is a clear indication
• Stop
– drugs that are no longer necessary
• Check
– dose and response, especially in the young, elderly
and those with renal, hepatic or cardiac disease

Aims of Pharmaceutical Care
• Identify actual and potential drug related
problems,
• Resolve actual drug related problems,
• Prevent potential drug related problems.
Drug therapy assessment
Six types of problems which may result in
treatment failure:
1. Inappropriate selection of medication
2. Inappropriate formulation of medication
3. Inappropriate administration of drug therapy
4. Inappropriate medication-taking behaviour
5. Inappropriate monitoring of drug therapy
6. Inappropriate response to drug therapy
Pharmaceutical care planning
Process of work
– collect relevant patient information
– assess information
– identify problems
– state desired outcomes
– prioritise problems
– develop an action plan for each problem
– was desired outcome achieved?
Pharmaceutical Care Activities (1)
• Patient Consultation - discuss expectations
and concerns,
• Pharmacist’s assessment - identify current
or potential drug therapy problems,
• Creation of a care plan - establish goals of
therapy, action to be taken and outcomes to
be monitored.
• Communication of that plan eg Dr, nurse
other pharmacist, patient, carer
Pharmaceutical Care Activities (2)
• Patient education and/or referral –
• provide individualised, current information
about drug therapy and how to use;
Demonstrate special techniques; refer to
doctor or other HCP.
• Patient monitoring and follow-up –
• are the goals being met.
Refocusing the profession because :-
1. Problems caused by drug use in society,
2. Business orientated approaches place the
product before the patient,
Pharmaceutical care is :-
• a patient-centred approach (not drug-centred),
• a process of managing drug-related problems,
• Where pharmacists take responsibility for
provision of drug therapy.

Outcomes of Pharmaceutical
Care(1)
• The patient receives effective drug therapy
- based on the evidence of current medical
literature (Evidence based Medicine).
• The patient receives safe therapy - based
on a knowledge of their individual clinical
circumstances.
Outcomes of Pharmaceutical
Care(2)
• The patient receives the most economic
therapy - not compromising efficacy or
toxicity
• The patient receives drug therapy desired
to improve their quality of life.
Patient Assessment Questions
• Does the patient need this drug ?
• Is this drug the most effective and safe ?
• Is this dosage the most effective and safe ?
• If side effects are unavoidable does the patient
need additional drug therapy for these side effects?
• Will drug administration impair safety or efficacy ?
• Are there any drug interactions ?
• Will the patient comply with prescribed regimen ?
To be a drug expert society needs
practitioners who ……..…

  • 20. Aims of Pharmaceutical Care Effective drug therapy Safe drug therapy Economic drug therapy Improve quality of life Will the patient take the therapy? What does the patient view as an improved quality of life?
  • 21. A case • 44 year old lady with fever and green sputum and cough – no known previous medical history – Diagnosed with upper resp. tract infection • Prescribed: – Co-Amoxiclav 1 tds – Doxycycline 100mg D – Prednisolone 40mg D – Theophylline 200mg bd – Omeprazole 20mg D – Metoclopramide 10mg tds – Salbutamol 2 puff inhale prn Pharmaceutical problems Common organisms for URTI?

  • 26. High Profile Examples • A patient with leukaemia received Intrathecal vincristine instead of intravenously. Died beginning of February 2001. 14th such case over the last 16 years. • Patient being operated for a AAA received bupivicaine intravenously rather than epidurally. Patient died 3 days later. • A 3 year old girl, who had a convulsion post flu vaccine. Attended hospital to get “checked out”. Received nitrous oxide instead of oxygen in casualty
  • 27. High Profile Cases (Cont.) • Elderly lady prescribed Methotrexate in 1997 for her rheumatoid arthritis. Dose increased to 17.5mg WEEKLY over a 6 month period. • Jan 2000 patient undergoes right TKR in hospital. MTX given as one tablet a week (only 2.5mg). • 6th April 2000 patient asks GP to reduce number of tablets “as in hospital”. • Prescription for MTX 10mg/daily written and dispensed. • 30th April patient dies.

  • 33. Necrotising fascititis – secondary to infection at site of IV injection
  • 34. Acute Liver failure from Black Cohosh - herbal medicine
  • 35. Human Error (Mistakes, Slips, Lapses) • Error is inevitable due to “our” limitations: - limited memory capacity - limited mental processing capacity - negative effects of fatigue other stressors • We all make errors all the time • Generalised lack of awareness that errors occur • Patients suffer adverse events much more often than previously realised • Errors often NOT immediately observed
  • 36. The same error, even a minor one, can have quite different consequences in different circumstances.
  • 37. “I assumed the brown glass ampoule was frusemide” (ICU RN after injecting 10mg adrenaline) The System: Only as safe as it’s designed to be!
  • 38. The Accident Causation Model (Adopted from Reason & Dean) Active Failures - Slips&lapses - Mistakes Error producing conditions Accident Defences Latent Conditions

  • 41. The Medicines Management Cycle Decision to prescribe Patient Order entry Review order Supply medicine Supply informationDistribute Administer Monitor response Transfer information From Bates et al 1995 DOCTORSDOCTORS PharmacyPharmacy NursesNurses
  • 42. Sources of Error • Prescribing error - selecting the wrong or inappropriate drug/dose/formulation/duration etc • Communicating those instructions • Supply error - timely; wrong drug, dose, route; expired medicines, labelling. • Administration error - timing; wrong route; wrong rate/technique. • Lack of user education - actions to take.
  • 43. Where do things go wrong with medicines? Errors Frequency (literature) % Frequency (600 bed Hospital) Drug Related admissions 5 – 20 % of unplanned admissions 4 – 15 patients / day Prescribing errors 2.5 –10 % of orders 40 – 160 orders in error/ day Dispensing errors 0.01 – 0.05 % of items 1-5 leave the pharmacy/ week Administration errors 5- 15% of doses 40 – 100 doses/ day Discharge prescribing 5 –17% of items for discharge 20 –70 items in error/ day
  • 44. Comparability to Australian National Health Priority Areas In 2000-01, hospital admissions – Angina: 88,500 – Myocardial infarction: 37,500 – Asthma: 49,000 – Diabetes: 46,000 – Adverse Drug Events: 140,000
  • 45. Reducing the risk of adverse events • Always – include a detailed drug history in the consultation • Only – use drug treatment when there is a clear indication • Stop – drugs that are no longer necessary • Check – dose and response, especially in the young, elderly and those with renal, hepatic or cardiac disease
  • 46. Pharmaceutical Care “ A practice in which a practitioner takes responsibility for a patient’s drug related needs and holds him or herself accountable for meeting these needs.” Linda Strand 1997
  • 47. Aims of Pharmaceutical Care Effective drug therapy Safe drug therapy Economic drug therapy Improve quality of life
  • 48. Aims of Pharmaceutical Care • Identify actual and potential drug related problems, • Resolve actual drug related problems, • Prevent potential drug related problems.
  • 49. Drug therapy assessment Six types of problems which may result in treatment failure: 1. Inappropriate selection of medication 2. Inappropriate formulation of medication 3. Inappropriate administration of drug therapy 4. Inappropriate medication-taking behaviour 5. Inappropriate monitoring of drug therapy 6. Inappropriate response to drug therapy
  • 50. Pharmaceutical care planning Process of work – collect relevant patient information – assess information – identify problems – state desired outcomes – prioritise problems – develop an action plan for each problem – was desired outcome achieved?
  • 51. Pharmaceutical Care Activities (1) • Patient Consultation - discuss expectations and concerns, • Pharmacist’s assessment - identify current or potential drug therapy problems, • Creation of a care plan - establish goals of therapy, action to be taken and outcomes to be monitored. • Communication of that plan eg Dr, nurse other pharmacist, patient, carer
  • 52. Pharmaceutical Care Activities (2) • Patient education and/or referral – • provide individualised, current information about drug therapy and how to use; Demonstrate special techniques; refer to doctor or other HCP. • Patient monitoring and follow-up – • are the goals being met.
  • 53. Refocusing the profession because :- 1. Problems caused by drug use in society, 2. Business orientated approaches place the product before the patient, Pharmaceutical care is :- • a patient-centred approach (not drug-centred), • a process of managing drug-related problems, • Where pharmacists take responsibility for provision of drug therapy.
  • 54. Formulary Prescribing protocols Prospective review Clinical pharmacy Admission medication history Allergy check Drug distribution system Opportunity For Error Administration instructions Clinical Pharmacy Role in Reducing Risks
  • 55. Formulary Prescribing protocols Prospective review Clinical pharmacy Admission medication history Allergy check Drug distribution system Adapted by P.Thornton from J. Reason, 9/01 Opportunity For Error Administration instructions What if we are not there!

  • 57. Outcomes of Pharmaceutical Care(2) • The patient receives the most economic therapy - not compromising efficacy or toxicity • The patient receives drug therapy desired to improve their quality of life.
  • 58. Patient Assessment Questions • Does the patient need this drug ? • Is this drug the most effective and safe ? • Is this dosage the most effective and safe ? • If side effects are unavoidable does the patient need additional drug therapy for these side effects? • Will drug administration impair safety or efficacy ? • Are there any drug interactions ? • Will the patient comply with prescribed regimen ?
  • 59. To be a drug expert society needs practitioners who ……..…
  • 60. Key knowledge, skills and attributesKnowledge base • Chemistry, • Pharmaceutics, • Pharmacology, • Therapeutics, • Law, Ethics, Professional conduct. Skills base • Problem solvers, • Make decisions, • Good communication + Effective consultation process, • Gather information, • Calculate doses, • Offer advice that’s timely and accurate (Pts, Dr’s and Nurses), • Dispense medicines, • Monitor and follow up

Notas del editor

  1. So these people – your predecessors PERCEIVED that they wouldn’t have any problems. Doctors don’t go out there, thinking that they will make mistakes. These are some of the reasons why…(points on slide - just need to raise awareness!)
  2. For every 100 errors, 90 will survive unharmed. Use speeding example… you speed along coronation drive and don’t get any problems… however occasionally you do have an accident. 9 in 100 who could go either way 1 suffers badly.
  3. Things still do look alike.
  4. So thinking back to example (white ants) When things do go wrong, there are several contributing factors. Active failures: Don’t always blame the person who makes the error. Error producing conditions: Start thinking about what has led to the error. Go and watch how nurses administer drugs... Understand how many other factors there are that the nurses have to cope with. Latent conditions See next slide.
