Midterm Flashcards
referred to as the stock of pharmaceutical products retained to meet future demand.
Inventory
The operational benefits of e-procurement
*reduced inventory levels,
*improved auditing and financial control,
*elimination of paperwork,
*enhanced staff efficiency and
*shortened delivery time.
(Drug Purchasing and Supply Chain
Management Systems)
This software allows an organization to create a library of medications that provides medication dosing guidelines, by establishing concentrations, dose limits,
and clinical advisories.
Smart Pumps
frequently used by pharmacists for the extemporaneous preparation of parenteral nutrition admixtures.
Automated compounding devices
Is a computer system which generates and utilizes
knowledge from different sources, data and
information.
* aids in solving problems, especially complex ones, by utilizing artificial intelligence concepts.
* mostly used in problem-solving procedures and to support human learning, decision making and actions
Knowledge-based System (KBS)
Is a point-of-care software solution that addresses the serious issue of inpatient medication errors by electronically validating and documenting medications for inpatients.
* ensures adherence to the “5 Rights” of medication
administration
* visually alerts staff when the proper parameters are not met
BCMA or Bar Code Medication Administration
“5 Rights” of medication administration
Right Patient
Right Route
Right Dose
Right Time
Right Medication
typically designed to integrate a medical knowledge base, patient data and an inference engine to generate case specific advice
Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
Use of an object applied to or incorporated into a product or person identifier (Wrist band) for the purpose of
identification and tracking using radio waves.
Radio-frequency identification
are complex computer systems that have been designed to meet the needs of a pharmacy department. With such systems, pharmacists can supervise and have inputs on how medication is used in a hospital.
Pharmacy information systems (PIS)
Clinical information system that enables a patient’s
care provider to enter an order for a medication, clinical
laboratory or radiology test, or procedure directly into the
computer.
Computerized Prescriber Order Entry
CPOE
Is the use of electronic tools to prescribe drug prescriptions.
*tools can include both software programs, as well as hardware like personal computers, handheld and wireless devices, and touch screens.
*is one of the integral steps to achieving broad deployment of the EHR. Other issues related to this topic area include, but are not limited to, pharmacy automation, medication compliance, pharmacy databases, CPOE and adverse drug events (ADE)
E-Prescribing
Is essentially a digital version of a patient’s medical history. It’s a comprehensive, longitudinal record that stores a
patient’s health information electronically.
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Electronic Health Record (EHR) information can include:
❑ Demographics (age, address, etc.)
❑ Medical history (diagnoses, treatments, allergies)
❑ Medications
❑ Lab results
❑ Imaging reports
❑ Immunization records

Electronic Clinical Documentation Systems
Operational
*Computer systems manage patient drug profiles
and histories.
*Facilitate label generation, patient billing, batch
processing of workload.
*Software interfaces allow patient information to
flow directly into the pharmacy system, easy
retrieval of patient laboratory results, and
external devices such as IV compounders,
automatic dispensing cabinets and robots.
Clinical
*Improving a pharmacist’s access to
information about the patient
*Documentation of clinical practice
*Utilizes software interfaces that allow
pharmacists to document their work
directly into handheld mobile
devices
Administrative
*Managers have the information
tools that allow them to better
assign resources
*Allowed managers to move
pharmacists into clinical roles and
increase the overall safety of the
