“…Pharmacy services were not involved in the compounding of all sterile preparations in 28% of the hospitals, although the Joint Commission (TJC) recommends that such practice should only be available in emergencies or when the medication's stability period is short 13. Furthermore, standard concentrations for complex sterile preparations were not used in 18% of the hospitals, and only 59% of the hospitals allowed one pharmacist to work in the compounding room for the compounding of chemotherapy and complex sterile preparations.…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate implementation of safety standards of compounded sterile preparations in different hospitals.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 124 hospitals from 19 countries. A survey was developed based on the guidelines and safety practices of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) for sterile preparations compounding, and was sent to the members of the Intravenous and Parenteral Nutrition experts’ network (IV PN experts’ network) in the Gulf region and beyond using SurveyMonkey software.Results124 pharmacists were invited to participate in this study. Only 39 (31.5%) pharmacists from seven countries responded: 16 (41%) of the participants were pharmacy supervisors, and 23 (59%) had >10 years of work experience. However, a majority, 27 (69%), of the respondents were from Saudi Arabia. Written policies and procedures for sterile preparations compounding were available in 37 (95%) hospitals. The concentrated electrolytes were removed from all patient care areas in 28 (72%) hospitals, and 30 (77%) hospitals clearly labelled those as high-alert medications. The use of advanced technologies, such as bar code verification or IV robotics, for compounding sterile preparations were not implemented in 27 (69%) hospitals.ConclusionsMinimum standards and best practice recommendations to ensure safety of sterile preparation compounding were implemented in many hospitals of different countries. However, advanced technologies were not implemented by the majority of the hospitals.

“…Remote order entry has been considered an acceptable alternative for meeting the requirement for pharmacist review for after-hours services since 2004, 12 given its influence on improving pharmacy's efficiency during after hours. It could also be used to maximize compliance with the current Joint Commission standards (e.g., MM 4.1, MM 8.1).…”

“…An analysis of these errors has led health care organizations to conclude that many of these problems occur within the medication-use process. 1 In 2004, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) strengthened its medication management standards to include routine monitoring of critical medication processes. 1 A hospital pharmacy and therapeutics (P&T) committee routinely reviews formulary decisions and medication processes and issues recommendations in the interest of patient safety.…”

Management Case Studies describe approaches to real-life management problems in health systems. Each installment is a brief description of a problem and how it was dealt with. The cases are intended to help readers deal with similar experiences in their own work sites. Problem solving, not hypothesis testing, is emphasized. Successful resolution of the management issue is not a criterion for publication-important lessons can be learned from failures, too.
