“Pharmaceuticals are the most common medical intervention, and their potential for both help and harm is enormous. Ensuring that the American people get the most benefit from advances in pharmacology is a critical component of improving the national health care system.”

1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report

  • To Err is Human
  • 44,000–98,000 people die each year as a direct result of

medical errors 2006 IOM report

  • Preventing Medication Errors
  • 400,000 preventable drug-related injuries occur in U.S.

hospitals each year, each costing about $8,750

28 to 60 percent of ADEs leading to hospital admission are preventable

Emergency hospitalizations for recognized ADEs in older adults most

  • ften result from warfarin, insulin, antiplatelet and oral hypoglycemic

agents

Medication Safety Definitions

Term Definition Example Adverse Drug Event (ADE) INJURY resulting from medical intervention related to a drug. Most are preventable. Bleeding from Coumadin

  • verdose.

Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) Harm directly caused by a drug at usual

  • doses. Causal link between the drug and

the harm. Allergic reaction. Medication Error Inappropriate use of a drug that may or may not cause harm. Preventable. Patient receives wrong medication. Potential Adverse Drug Event (pADE) Medication error that could potentially lead to ADE, stopped before harm can

  • ccur.

Patient has an order for a medication to which he/she is allergic, order changed before patient takes the medication.

Medication Related Problems (MRP)

Practitioners Patient Drug

Activity

  • Age specific dosing adjustment
  • Substance Abuse & Misuse
  • Lack of engagement of patient and

family in D/C plan

  • Lack of communication during

transitions in care

  • Duplicate therapy
  • Pharmacogenomics
  • Adverse reactions
  • Medication reconciliation not done
  • Patient sent home with an incorrect list
  • Interaction from multi-prescribers (Rx, OTC,

Herbal, Foods, etc.) not assessed Drug/Dose

  • Misinformation-EMR and Med list does not

match

  • Provider does not know if script filled
  • Cost
  • Access
  • Availability
  • Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
  • Clinical status changes
  • Compliance & Adherence (pt. fails teach back)
  • Prescribing error
  • Dispensing error

Medication Management

10

Reconcile medications on admission with input from patient and family at all levels of care (Home, Home Health, SNF, NH, Hospice, Assisted living etc..) Resolve discrepancies such as omissions, duplications, adjustments, deletions, and additions to the medication list during hospital stay Provide the most current list of medications to the next care provider Assess patient’s ability or inability to name medications, their purpose and how and when to take the medication and know any special precautions listed in the record

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Medication Management

11

Alert and educate family/caregiver if patient is unable to name medications and purpose, Discuss patient needs with next care provider set up planned follow-up Refer patients with more than five medications or more than two medication changes during hospitalization for pharmacy/ medication management follow-up Discuss opting out of scheduled refills and automatic refills until medications are reconciled with pharmacist

Quality Measures (7)

Reduction in statewide Adverse Drug Events Reduction in statewide Readmissions for beneficiaries at High Risk* for an adverse drug event related to

  • Anticoagulant medications;
  • Diabetic medications;
  • Opioid medications

Reduction in statewide Hospital Utilization (Admissions, ER

  • r Observations) for beneficiaries at High Risk* for an adverse

drug event related to

  • Anticoagulant medications;
  • Diabetic medications;
  • Opioid medications

*Taking three medications plus an anticoagulant , diabetic or

Integrating Medication Reconciliation and ADE Prevention

18

Medication reconciliation at each new encounter Reduce the number of potentially inappropriate medications Decrease the risk of an ADE through better communication and patient/family education/engagement/empowerment Focus on the three high risk medications: Opioid, Anticoagulant, and Diabetic

State opioid prescribing rates vary up to 3-fold

Factors driving overuse of opioids

20

Knowledge gaps:

  • Overestimation of effectiveness for chronic pain
  • Underestimation of opioid use disorder and overdose risks
  • Lack of familiarity with non-opioid treatments

Insufficient access to non-opioid treatments Patient requests for opioids Time pressure; It takes time

  • to explain why opioids are not the best treatment
  • to arrange non-opioid treatment
