“…Therefore, to obtain that information, we need a well-designed taxonomy to be able to accurately measure, report and classify medication discrepancies in clinical practice. Several international organizations, including the WHO, TJC, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare (ACSQHC), the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and the IHI have campaigned for an increased focus on accurate information transfer at transition points in care [35]. Accordingly, use of medication reconciliation has been promoted by these organizations, as a means to reduce medication error and prevent adverse drug events [15].…”

We suggest that clear and consistent information on prevalence, types, causes and contributory factors of medication discrepancy are required to develop suitable strategies to reduce the risk of adverse consequences on patient safety. Therefore, to obtain that information, we need a well-designed taxonomy to be able to accurately measure, report and classify medication discrepancies in clinical practice.

“…This is particularly important if the tool being validated is theoretically novel, which is directly relevant to the validation of the CPWC and this has been demonstrated in several ways. Many of the timings that drive the algorithm of the CPWC have construct validity in comparison with the literature [27][28][29][30][31][32]. This is particularly relevant for medicines reconciliation (MR), which is the single longest task that needs to be completed for pharmaceutical care.…”

Background The benefits of hospital clinical pharmacy services are well established, though staff numbers required for its delivery have not been well described, leading to variation in pharmacy staffing between hospitals. The need to identify a consistent, objective method of determining staffing levels was recognised at a UK University Hospital and a Clinical Pharmacy Workforce Calculator (CPWC) was developed. Objective To report on the validation of the CPWC across acute hospital settings in Great Britain. Method Using the World Health Organisation's Workload Indicators of Staffing Need (WISN) methodology, a two-round Delphi consensus study with an Expert Panel of UK hospital pharmacy managers was undertaken to develop the Activity Standard for pharmaceutical care and to identify the time unavailable for clinical work inherent in employing staff. Consenting Panel members then tested the CPWC by calculating the staff resource required for three staffing scenarios to determine whether it could be reliably used by different operators. Results Thirty-six participants consented to participate, and data was returned from 22 participants (61%) of whom 20 (56%) supplied analysable data. Consensus was achieved on the tasks required for pharmaceutical care delivery, the mean time each takes, the frequency of completion and the unavailable time in the employment of each grade of staff identified. The CPWC uses this data in an algorithm to calculate staffing requirements. Eleven participants (55%) tested the CPWC and analysis of their responses showed that 31 of 33 (94%) calculations were accurately completed using the CPWC. Conclusion This study has defined the WISN Activity Standard for pharmaceutical care delivery to hospital inpatients and validated the CPWC for acute medical and surgical hospital settings. The CPWC offers hospital pharmacy managers a useful tool to negotiate adequate staffing to deliver pharmaceutical care and its development methodology could be applied widely in pharmacy practice internationally.

The objective of this study was to gain insight into the perception and the likelihood ABSTRAK:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memotret persepsi dan kecenderungan kesediaan apoteker yang bekerja di apotek di sebuah kabupaten untuk terlibat dalam program rekonsiliasi obat. Dua buah pertanyaan panduan tertulis diberikan kepada setiap peserta dan peserta diminta kesediaannya untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut pada lembar yang telah disediakan. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode thematic analysis. Total terdapat 31 apoteker yang bersedia terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Seluruh peserta penelitian berpersepsi bahwa proses rekonsiliasi obat penting untuk diimplementasikan. Hampir seluruh peserta (30 dari 31 apoteker) memiliki kecenderungan untuk bersedia terlibat dalam proses rekonsiliasi obat. Terdapat 3 tema utama pertimbangan yang mendasari kecenderungan apoteker di apotek untuk bersedia terlibat dalam proses rekonsiliasi obat. Apoteker peserta penelitian yang bekerja di apotek memiliki persepsi dan kecenderungan yang baik untuk berkontribusi dalam proses rekonsiliasi obat. Identifikasi faktorfaktor yang berpotensi menjadi penghalang implementasi proses rekonsiliasi obat oleh apoteker di apotek perlu dilakukan sebelum program rekonsiliasi obat ini diimplementasikan dalam suatu daerah.
