“…This history highlights the impact of a drug error that was discovered only after physically inspecting his medication boxes. This is an action-based-type error,9 10 which resulted in three delayed diagnoses, recurrent symptoms and avoidable hospital admissions. All systems have potential for errors 9 10.…”

A 76-year-old man developed recurrent encephalopathy, visual disturbance, myoclonus, generalised seizures and atonic drop attacks on a background of a gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma and stable chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. He presented to three different hospitals and was admitted twice, with normal investigations. His symptoms transiently improved during each admission (and with starting levetiracetam) but recurred each time on hospital discharge. Subsequent careful inspection of his medication box identified that his community pharmacy had in error been dispensing baclofen 80 mg per day instead of his prescribed Buscopan 80 mg per day. This case highlights the importance of physically inspecting a patient’s medications and emphasises the spectrum of baclofen-related toxicity; it also highlights potential deficiencies in the pharmacy dispensary process and the need for multiple checks by patients and professionals.

Multiple studies presented in this review have demonstrated that team-based care including pharmacists can improve BP management. Studies highlighted the cost-effectiveness of a team-based pharmacy intervention for BP control in primary care clinics. Little information was found on factors influencing sustainability of team-based care interventions to improve BP control. Future work is needed to determine the best populations to target with team-based BP programs and how to implement team-based approaches utilizing pharmacists in diverse clinical settings. Future studies need to not only identify unmet clinical needs but also address reimbursement issues and stakeholder engagement that may impact sustainment of team-based care interventions.

“…Similarly, there are extra tasks or the number of patients to be treated. On the other hand, the working time used to work on the job must match the working hours that take place every day [7]; and supported by the completeness of facilities that can help the medical personnel to be able to finish their work properly [8].…”

The ability of nurse professionals to provide quality healthcare services is necessary for consumers when conducting health care in hospitals. The optimal health services that are expected by the patients using health care services, and it's certainly an obstacle for the hospital in providing quality services for the whole community. The purpose of this study is to identify workloads for healthcare professionals and the desire of consumers to improve health quality during the period of medical care and treatment. The methods in this study used an exploratory analysis. And the sampling technique is performed using non-probability using questionnaires and observations to get the study results significantly. The result showed that there was an impact on the workload carried out by healthcare professionals with the satisfaction of patients during hospital treatment. Thus, the quality of health services will also impact the workload for healthcare professionals. Health institutions such as general hospitals certainly need the planning of professional health personnel sufficient to improve the quality of service. Therefore, the number of consumers who do health care should undoubtedly comply with the ratio of health personnel available.
