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 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:

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:

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:

Increasingly audacious steps in advertising are made to affect the customer and to encourage them to buy the advertised goods. Advertising is highly important in gaining a foothold in the business environment. Usually, the advertising texts fail to meet the norms of the standard Lithuanian language. The aim of this article is to compare the language of the advertising booklets of two pharmacies.The linguistic analysis of the advertising booklets of Camelia and Euro Pharmacy for March 2014 showed that in terms of language errors the booklets of the two pharmacies were similar, and the character of the errors was identical in both cases. The advertising booklets of both pharmacies contained lexical, syntactic, morphological, and logical errors. The advertising booklet of the Camelia pharmacy presents 121 items, which advertising descriptions contain 55.3% of language errors. The advertising booklet of the EuroPharmacy presents advertising descriptions of 103 items, where language errors comprise 57.2%. The majority of the errors detected in the advertising booklets of the two pharmacies are lexical (Camelia – 33.8%, and Euro Pharmacy – 37.3%) or syntactic (Camelia – 27.9%, and Euro Pharmacy – 37.3%). Both publications contain nearly equal numbers of lexical errors (Camelia – 17.6%, and Euro Pharmacy – 18.7%). The greatest difference was observed in the number of morphological errors (Camelia – 20.7%, and Euro Pharmacy – 5.7%).In addition to that, the name of the Camelia pharmacy is in conflict with the norms of both Lithuanian and Latin languages.

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:

Background: Medical and pharmacy students are future healthcare professionals who will be on the forefront in dealing with antibiotics in hospitals or community settings. Whether the current medical and pharmacy education in Pakistan prepares students to take future roles in antibiotic use remains an under-researched area. Aim: This study aims to compare medical and pharmacy students’ perceived preparedness, learning practices and usefulness of the education and training on antibiotic use and resistance imparted during undergraduate studies in Pakistan. Design and Setting: It was amulti-centre cross-sectional survey of medical and pharmacy colleges in Punjab, Pakistan. Method: A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from final year medical and pharmacy students. Descriptive statistics were used for categorical variables while independent t-test and One-way ANOVA computed group differences. Result: Nine hundred forty-eight respondents (526 medical and 422 pharmacy students) completed the survey from 26 medical and 19 pharmacy colleges. Majority (76.1%) of the pharmacy students had not completed a clinical rotation in infectious diseases. The top three most often used sources of learning antibiotic use and resistance were the same among the medical and the pharmacy students; included textbooks, Wikipedia, and smart phone apps. Overall self-perceived preparedness scores showed no significant difference between pharmacy and medical students. The least prepared areas by medical and pharmacy students included transition from intravenous to oral antibiotics and interpretation of antibiograms. Both medical and pharmacy students found problem solving sessions attended by a small group of students to be the most useful (very useful) teaching methodology to learn antibiotic use and resistance. Conclusions: Differences exist between medical and pharmacy students in educational resources used, topics covered during undergraduate degree. To curb the growing antibiotic misuse and resistance, the concerned authorities should undertake targeted educational reforms to ensure that future physicians and pharmacists can play a pivotal role in rationalizing the use of antibiotics.

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:

Background: Interprofessional interactions between pharmacy and medical students have been emphasised by accreditation standards. This study aimed to document medical and pharmacy student cohorts’ baseline and longitudinal interprofessional attitudes across four years of pre-licensure education. Methods: Student cohorts shared two structured interprofessional learning experiences within the first two years, then unstructured/variable learning experiences during the final two years. The 27-item Interprofessional Attitudes Scale comprising five subscales was administered upon programme entry, then towards the end of each programme year. Results: Baseline response rates were 73.5% and 90% for 136 medicine and 57 pharmacy students, respectively; pharmacy student responses were significantly higher for teamwork, roles, and responsibilities and significantly lower for interprofessional biases subscales. Longitudinal medical and pharmacy student responses only showed a significant increase in interprofessional biases, while medical student responses showed significant decreases in teamwork, roles, responsibilities, and community-centredness. Conclusion: Compared to pharmacy students, baseline responses from medical students confirm significantly lower scores for teamwork, roles, and responsibilities on programme entry, which may further decrease by the end of the first pre-clinical year. Though significant subscale changes mirrored the completion of structured pre-clinical interprofessional curricula and/or clinical education for both student cohorts, further research is needed secondary to study limitations.

Abstract:

Background: Self-medication is quite a prevalent public health problem. It can cause serious harm to the person, like adverse drug reactions, toxicity, drug resistance, incomplete cure, drug dependence, etc. Self-medication is associated with incorrect self-diagnosis and inadequate treatment, which can result in disease progression and complications. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and pattern of self-medication practice among undergraduate medical and pharmacy students. Methodology: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the College of Medicine and College of Pharmacy. The pre-tested, structured questionnaire was used. All medical and pharmacy students were invited to participate in the study by filling in an online study questionnaire. The study questionnaire consists of three parts. The first part includes personal and health status. The second part is related to the past year’s most frequent conditions participants had self-medication. Participants were also asked about their self-medication knowledge and perception. An electronic survey link was sent out via email. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 25 software. Results: Self-Medication is more prevalent among medical students (70.59 %) than among pharmacy students (62.3%). The most important condition was a cough, 83% among medical students and 67% of pharmacy students, and a sore throat, 47.1% of medical students and 44.2% of pharmacy students. The most frequent medication used among medical and pharmacy students was analgesic (paracetamol and NSAIDS). Antibiotics (41% medical and 33% pharmacy students) and Vitamin supplements were next utilized. Pharmacy students used more supplements than medical Students (33.8 percent pharmacy versus 13% medical) Conclusion: Self-medication has been found to be very common among medical and pharmacy students in Oman. The student-ts need to be educated about the harms of self-medication and the responsible use of medicine.

Abstract:

Background: There is a paucity of research on the population characteristics of mail-order pharmacy users. Objective: This study utilized a nationally representative sample to examine the characteristics of mail-order pharmacy users. Methods: This study used data from the 2012 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). The outcome variable was defined as whether the participant had used a mail-order pharmacy during the study year. Logistic regression was conducted to determine the factors which influence mail-order pharmacy use. All analyses incorporated MEPS sampling weights to adjust for the complex survey design. Results: Among the 14,106 adults included, approximately 18% of them had used a mail-order pharmacy at least once to fill their prescription in 2012. Compared to community pharmacy users, mail-order pharmacy users were more likely to be white, older, married, have a higher family income, a higher educational level, have health insurance, and have a prescription with at least a 30-day supply. There is no difference in gender or urban/rural disparity. In addition, mail-order pharmacy users had a lower percentage of out-of-pocket costs. Conclusion: Mail-order pharmacy use was significantly associated with certain patient characteristics. Policymakers should consider these characteristics when promoting mail-order pharmacy use.

Abstract:

Veterinary pharmacy is a specialized area of practice within the field of pharmacy as a whole. It is in the veterinary academic setting that pharmacists have established themselves as an integral and important part of the veterinary health care team in that veterinary hospital pharmacists are engaged in many different activities involving drug distribution, clinical services, teaching, and research. The average veterinary hospital pharmacy provides services that are equivalent in quality and quantity to those found in many hospitals for humans. Veterinary hospital pharmacists also play an important role as drug therapy consultants often being called upon to design dosage regimens for various types of patients. In order to be maximally effective in this setting, the veterinary pharmacist must combine knowledge of drug chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology with an understanding of those unique anatomic, metabolic, and behavioral aspects that exist for each species of animal. Veterinary pharmacists are also often involved in clinical research with veterinary hospital clinicians and, less often, in areas of basic research with other faculty members of the veterinary school. Veterinary pharmacy is predicted to continue to grow, expand, and evolve in those areas in which it has already become established, namely, the veterinary schools and their associated teaching hospitals. There is also ample opportunity and need for pharmacists to become involved in other areas, such as the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, veterinary regulatory agencies, and agricultural and livestock production, which affect not only veterinary medicine but also public health as a whole.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The implementation of pharmacy service standards is a way to implement the practice philosophy, which in essence aims to protect the public from unprofessional pharmaceutical services. The Indonesians standard of pharmacy services has been updated several times according to the development of legal requirements in the community pharmacy setting. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of pharmacy service standards for managing pharmaceuticals, medical devices and disposable medical materials at pharmacies. METHODS: The study was conducted with a descriptive method using a cross sectional survey research design, with a checklist as an instrument for retrieving variable data on pharmaceutical services at pharmacies in the city of Medan, Indonesia. The study was conducted from July to November 2018. RESULTS: The overall standard implementation from 99 pharmacies showed that 72 pharmacies were at a good level (72.72%), fair level as many as 26 pharmacies (26.26%) and 1 pharmacy in bad level (1.02%). CONCLUSION: The study result revealed that even though the level of implementation was good but there were some elements that have high level of “done but not documented” (especially in planning and destruction/withdrawal standards). There were many aspects that must be improved especially the documentation aspect and require cooperation from all relevant parties.

Abstract:

In 1995 we conducted a national survey of 1102 acute care hospitals in the United States to determine types of clinical pharmacy services, patient‐focused care, and pharmaceutical care used to educate and train pharmacy students, and compared outcomes with surveys in 1989 and 1992. Clinical pharmacy services offered in 50% or more of Pharm.D.‐affiliated hospitals (core services) were drug‐use evaluation, in‐service education, pharmacokinetic consultations, adverse drug reaction management, drug therapy monitoring, protocol management (most common for aminoglycosides, nutrition, antibiotics, heparin, warfarin, theophylline), nutrition team, and drug counseling. Comprehensive pharmaceutical care programs were established in 64%, 42%, and 33% of Pharm.D., B.S., and nonteaching hospitals, respectively. Patient‐focused care programs were beginning or established in 77%, 71%, and 60%, respectively. Pharmacists served as care team leaders in 23% of hospitals affiliated with a college of pharmacy. Most common ambulatory care clinics were oncology, anticoagulation, diabetes, geriatrics, refill, and infectious diseases/HIV. For‐profit hospitals rarely provided education for pharmacy students. Thus patient‐focused and comprehensive pharmaceutical care programs exist according to a hospital's academic program affiliation with Pharm.D. or B.S. degree program.

Abstract:

Objective: To provide lessons learned for colleges of pharmacy and large health systems that are contemplating or in the process of undergoing integration. Method: This report describes the merger of an academic medical center and large health system with a focus on the implications of the merger for pharmacy from the perspectives of both a college of pharmacy and a health system’s pharmacy services. Results: Overarching pharmacy issues to consider include having an administrator from the college of pharmacy directly involved in the merger negotiation discussions, having at least one high-level administrator from the college of pharmacy and one high-level pharmacy administrator from the health system involved in ongoing discussions about implications of the merger and changes that are likely to affect teaching, research, and clinical service activities, having focused discussions between college and health system pharmacy administrators on the implications of the merger on experiential and research-related activities, and anticipating concerns by clinical faculty members affected by the merger. Conclusion: The integration of a college of pharmacy and a large health system during the acquisition of an academic medical center can be challenging for both organizations, but appropriate pre- and post-merger discussions between college and health system pharmacy administrators that include a strategic planning component can assuage concerns and problems that are likely to arise, increasing the likelihood of a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Abstract:

Background: Adverse drug responses are serious public health issues worldwide. Pharmacovigilance (PV) is an important part of the healthcare system since it assesses, monitors, and discovers medication interactions and their consequences in humans. Objective were to assess knowledge and perception about adverse drug reactions (ADR) and PV among pharmacy and medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for pre-final year and final-year of pharmacy and medical students. Study conducted through semi structured questionnaires and a total 607 participants were recruited in this study. Results: A total 607 participants of pharmacy (52.5%) and medical (47.4%) from pre final (50.2%), final year (49.9%) students participated in this study. Pharmacy students had a significantly better overall knowledge of ADRs than medical students (p<0.05). The perception of pharmacy students regarding ADRs reporting and PV were significantly more than those medical student’s (p<0.05). In comparison to pharmacy students, a lack of knowledge of where and how to report ADRs was the main barrier that medical students perceived to ADR reporting (0.02). Conclusions: This study shows that compared to medical students, pharmacy students had better awareness of ADR reporting and shown good perceptions of PV. To enhance the knowledge of PV among healthcare students, an instructional intervention ought to be implemented.

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:

This study identified some difficulties of translating medical terms and discussed how experienced translators go about such difficulties. Data consisted of 24 English medical terms and their Arabic equivalences. Different types of medical terms were considered, excluding pharmacy-related terms (as most pharmacy terms are formulas, trade names and drug names, most of which cannot be translated into Arabic). Findings showed that translation of medical terms pose difficulties and challenges for medical students and researchers. These difficulties were tabulated and discussed to provide corresponding suggestions to lessen such problematic issues when working with medical terms. Most importantly, approaches to medical translation into Arabic should comply with the Arabic language structure if the terminological inconsistency in medical Arabic is to be overcome.

Abstract:

Background: The current study was premeditated to evaluate the attitude, knowledge and practice of the pharmacy employees (including interns and trainees) dealing with medical practice towards medical errors and adverse drug reaction reports. Methods:The study is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional one with the influence of medication-error reporting, focused on pharmacy department of King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia using the Likert-scale survey. The research population was 167 pharmacy employees, (including interns, and trainees) from King Saud University Medical City. The legalized items connected to knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) survey was given to each member. Results:Majority of the total sample size (n=167) are pharmacists, managers, lead pharmacists, pharmacist-in-charge, or staff pharmacist by 74.3 %, where 15.6 % are pharmacy technicians, 7.8 % are pharmacy students interns/externs and 2.4 % other workers. Positive responses were highest in teamwork within the pharmacy employee (87.3% vs. 81.6%), staff training and skills within the pharmacy employee (86.35% vs. 79.25%), physical space and environment in the pharmacy (83.8% vs. 73.6%). Lower responses were found in response to mistakes (79.75% vs. 74.4%) compared to community pharmacy database report (AHRQ, 2019).Conclusion:The findings indicate that ratings on documenting mistakes (reporting)as perceived by pharmacy employee are at par with the community pharmacy elsewhere. The weakest dimension identified was mistakes (reporting) having the lowest positive response with a mean score of 3. This denotes a low level of agreement according to Likert scale confirming that is the dimension needing improvement.

Abstract:

Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the knowledge and attitudes of pharmacy and medical students regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs), as well as their perceptions of barriers to ADR reporting, in a Higher Education Commission-recognised Pakistani university.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among final-year pharmacy (n=91) and medical (n=108) students in Pakistan from June 1 to July 31, 2014. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The responses of pharmacy students were compared to those of medical students.Results: Pharmacy students had a significantly better knowledge of ADRs than medical students (mean±SD, 5.61±1.78 vs. 3.23±1.60; P<0.001). Gender showed a significant relationship to knowledge about ADRs, and male participants were apparently more knowledgeable than their female counterparts (P<0.001). The attitudes of pharmacy students regarding their capability to handle and report ADRs were significantly more positive than those of medical students (P<0.05). In comparison to pharmacy students, a lack of knowledge of where and how to report ADRs was the main barrier that medical students perceived to ADR reporting (P=0.001).Conclusion: Final-year pharmacy students exhibited more knowledge about ADRs and showed more positive attitudes regarding their capacity to handle and report ADRs than final-year medical students.

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:

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:

Institutions with established clinical pharmacy services have the ability to offer focused patient care learning experiences, often led by a clinical specialist, for pharmacy residents and pharmacy students. Since all parties are continually involved in professional development and lifelong learning, the aforementioned groups can all be considered “pharmacy learners.” By utilizing the dynamic interplay and collaboration between pharmacy learners through direct and nondirect patient care activities, experiential and educational opportunities may be improved and enhanced for each learner. A tiered learning approach engages individuals in areas such as direct patient care, patient education, presentations, research projects, career development, and the feedback process. We describe our experience during a solid organ transplantation learning experience using a layered learning practice model that included a clinical pharmacy specialist, a postgraduate year 2 specialty pharmacy resident, a postgraduate year 1 pharmacy resident, and a pharmacy student.

Abstract:

This study identifies attitudes of organized pharmacy, organized medicine, and the pharmaceutical industry about prescribing authority for pharmacists. A questionnaire designed to assess the impact of a legislative bill permitting a pharmacist in an organized health care setting to initiate or modify drug therapy was mailed to state pharmacy associations, state hospital pharmacy associations, state pharmacy boards, state medical associations, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (PMA)-member manufacturers, and non-PMA-member generic manufacturers. Responses from 194 of the 307 invited organizations were used. The six organization types viewed the impact of the legislative bill differently (p < 0.05). Hospital pharmacy associations and boards of pharmacy, to a lesser extent, supported the legislative bill; non-PMA-member generic manufacturers and state pharmacy associations were relatively neutral. The medical associations and the PMA-member companies opposed the passage of the bill. Furthermore, medical associations believed that the bill would not be passed in the majority of states in the next five years.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To rereview the status of state pharmacy practice acts since 1987. Additionally, this report discusses adoption of the 1992 National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Model State Pharmacy Practice Act as the standard state pharmacy practice statute. DATA SOURCES: State codes for 50 states and the District of Columbia, with attention focused on the pharmacy practice acts; Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were excluded. CASE LAW SELECTION: Case law utilizing state pharmacy statutes was selected to demonstrate pharmacists' liability. DATA EXTRACTION: The focus on each statute was the statutory definition of the “practice of pharmacy.” DATA SYNTHESIS: Twelve pharmacy laws (24 percent) contain no definition of the practice of pharmacy. Compounding (92 percent), dispensing (100 percent), interpretation and evaluation of prescriptions (72 percent), consultation (85 percent), drug utilization review (69 percent), drug product selection (54 percent), drug administration (21 percent), pharmacokinetic consultation and patient assessment (13 percent) were noted in the laws for the remaining 38 states and the District of Columbia. Significant pharmacy activities codified since 1987 include consultation, drug administration, pharmacokinetic consultation, and patient assessment. Statutes defining pharmacy practice impact the profession by affecting liability and by mirroring society's view of the role of the profession. CONCLUSIONS: States have enacted new statutes principally in the areas of progressive pharmacy practice functions since 1987. Enactment of the definition of professional practice contained in the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Model State Pharmacy Practice Act would serve the pharmacy profession by: (1) creating a uniform professional purpose; (2) creating legal responsibility that reflects contemporary practice; (3) allowing pharmacists to enlarge the scope of their practice as the profession's societal role evolves; and (4) conserving revenues normally consumed by lobbying for constant legislative revisions.

Background: Pharmacy internships provide students with practical experiences that lead to enhancement of clinical skills and personal growth. Objective: To describe the design and implementation of a structured 10-week summer pharmacy internship program in a supermarket chain pharmacy. Methods: The pharmacy leadership team developed and piloted a new format of the pharmacy internship during the summer of 2013. Pharmacy students in professional year 1 (P1), 2 (P2), and 4 (P4) were invited to apply for a paid internship. Pharmacy students were recruited from all colleges of pharmacy in the state of Michigan. The goal of the new program was to create a focused learning opportunity that encouraged students to develop knowledge, skills, and abilities about patient care, pharmacy management, and working within a team. Results: A total of 19 interns were recruited (P1 = 7, P2 = 7, and P4 = 5). Students practiced 40 hours per week and participated in the medication dispensing process and employee biometrics screening program. Interns provided approximately 500 assessments on pharmacy employees and all P1 and P2 interns completed a patient care project. Conclusions: The restructured internship program provided pharmacy students with a 10-week program that exposed them to many aspects of community pharmacy practice. The program needs future refinement and assessment measures to verify interns improve skills throughout the program.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and has high rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The practice of antimicrobial stewardship in Nigerian hospitals is very limited and the subject is rarely included in undergraduate medical and pharmacy curriculums. To further acceptance and implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) in Nigeria health system, baseline measurements of the knowledge and perceptions held by graduating medical and pharmacy students was deemed essential. This study evaluated the knowledge and perceptions of a cohort of Nigerian medical and pharmacy students in concepts of AMR and ASP. Methods This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study of final year medical and pharmacy students from the two largest schools in the southeastern region of Nigeria. A previously published 20-items questionnaire measuring knowledge and perceptions toward AMR and ASP was adopted for the study. Results were expressed as frequencies and percentages. Results Completed questionnaires were received from 79.3% (361 of 455 students), over half (60%) were male, and mostly between 22 and 25 years old (68.7%). More pharmacy students had formal training on ASP compared with medical students (41.3% vs. 27.5%, P < 0.05). Pharmacy students (n = 84.3% and 90.5%) were significantly more knowledgeable of factors that promote the spread of AMR and interventions to combat resistance than medical students (n = 73.9% and 82.3%), P < 0.05, respectively. Interestingly, 23.3% of medical students thought pharmacists should lead ASP teams, while 5.8% of pharmacy students thought doctors should lead ASP. However, both held poor perceptions of each other’s roles in the ASP team. Conclusion Knowledge of AMR and ASP among medical and pharmacy students in Nigeria is lacking. Inter-professional collaboration to change perceptions and drive ASP in urgently needed. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:

Our project E-pharmacy operates over the internet by selling prescribed drugs or medications online and sends orders to customers via the mail or other means. One of the technological advances that are set to create a significant demand in the next days is online pharmacy. When customers have a favorable opinion regarding online purchasing, it does not always transfer into regular purchase activity. The goal of this study is to look into the relationship between customer perceptions of values and dangers, as well as online buying attitudes and behavior, in the context of online pharmacy shopping. The convenience of purchasing medicines online has made it quite popular all over the world. Companies sell everything from prescriptions to other healthcare supplies on their websites. The Indian healthcare market is expanding rapidly, and both online and offline pharmacies are now operating equally.
