“…53 Despite this practice, in the United States, it seems that many prescriptions are dispensed from the emergency department without a pharmacy check and that insufficient retrospective review of drugs dispensed from the emergency department takes place. 54,55 Safety culture and climate within health care have been extensively studied, 56,57 and work suggesting its link with dispensing accuracy in the pharmacy context 58,59 could be applied in the emergency department.…”

“…В 1993 г. впер-вые была озвучена концепция фармацевтической по-мощи [6]. Перспективные направления взаимодействия ASHP и системы здравоохранения были определены уже в 2003 г. В 2010 г. была начата работа над концепцией взаимодействия ASHP с госпитальными аптеками, в ко-торой практически каждый профессионал принял самое непосредственное участие [7]. Проведенная работа по-зволила сформулировать основные направления разви-тия госпитальной фармации, к числу которых относятся следующие положения.…”

“…While 68% of hospitals in the USA were found to be using DERS in 2011 (Pedersen et al, 2012), there has not been a similar survey to explore the prevalence of use within UK hospitals is (Cousins et al, 2013). Understanding current usage would help inform future studies of IV infusion safety and DERS usage.…”

In 2004, the National Patient Safety Agency (NSPA) released a safety alert relating to the management and use of infusion devices in England and Wales. The alert called for the standardisation of infusion devices and a consideration of using centralised equipment systems to manage device storage. There has also been growing interest in smart pump technology, such as dose error reduction software (DERS) as a way to reduce IV medication errors. However, questions remain about the progress that has been made towards infusion device standardisation and the adoption of DERS.We report on the results of a survey investigating the extent to which the standardisation of infusion devices has occurred in the last 10 years; how far centralised equipment libraries are being used in practice; and about the prevalence of DERS use within the UK.The findings indicate that while reported standardisation levels are high, the use of centralised equipment libraries remains low, as does DERS usage. 2 Key phrases1. Infusion device standardisation, the use of centralised equipment libraries and DERS have all been suggested as ways to improve patient safety but there has been little research on establishing the prevalence of all three on a national level.2. Progress has been made towards infusion device standardisation, however "standardisation" does not always mean that only one type of device is being used, and there is still some variability in the devices used across whole organisations.3. Due to specific clinical areas requiring different devices or alternative configurations of the same device centralised equipment libraries are not the most common method of device storage management across entire hospitals.4. Due to the significant practical and organisational challenges that face institutions wishing to implement DERS, only a small number of hospitals are using this technology, especially across entire trusts and health boards.5. Obstacles to the implementation of DERS include existing device contracts, the significant time and resources required, not being convinced of the technology, and complications related to a lack of standardisation.3

ASHP national survey of pharmacy practice in hospital settings: Dispensing and administration—2011

Abstract: Pharmacists continue to improve medication use at the dispensing and administration steps of the medication-use system. The adoption of new technology is changing the philosophy of medication distribution, and health information is rapidly becoming electronic.
