Explain the components of medication assessment (CO 4).
- Appropriateness
- Safety
- Effectiveness
- Adherence
What is appropriateness?
- Current/valid interactions
- Duplicate therapy
What is safety?
- ADR
- High dose
- Allergic reaction
What is effectiveness?
- Does it work
- Therupeutical desirabe?
What is adherence?
- Cost
- Complexity
- Other barriers
Identify common causes of drug related problems (CO 7).
- Unnecessary drug therapy
- Needs additional therapy
- Ineffective drug
- Dose too high
- Dose too low
- ADR
- Nonadherence
Categories of DRP: appropriateness?
- Unnecessary (duplicate) drug therapy
- Needs additional drug therapy
Categories of DRP: Safety?
- Adverse drug reaction
- Dosage too high
Categories of DRP: Effectiveness?
- Ineffective drug
- Dosage too low
Categories of DRP: Adherence?
Non adherence
What is unnecessary drug therapy?
- Duplicate therapy
- No indication
- Non-drug therapy is more appropriate
What is needs additional therapy?
- Untreated conditions
- Preventative treatment
- Synergistic therapy
What is ineffective drug?
- Contraindication
- Not indicated for condition
- More effective drugs available
- Dosage form is not appropriate
What is dosage too low?
- Ineffective does
- Inappropriate frequency, duration
What is ADR?
- Unsafe
- Undesirable effect
- Drug interactions
- Allergic reactions
- Inappropriate tapering
What is dose too high?
- Toxicity
- Drug interaction
- Needs additional monitoring
- Inappropraite frequency, duration
What is non adherence?
Cost, forgetfulness, admistration, complexity, availabity, lack of understanding
Prioritize drug related problems (CO 7).
- Urgency: which problem should be addressed first
- Responsibility: Which prblem can be resolved by practioner and patient direcly
- Synergy: Problems that require intervention by someone else
Stating drug related problems
- Description of patients medical conditions or clincal state
- Drug therapy involved
- Specific association between the drug therapy and patient’s codition
Core elements of MTM
- Medication therapy review
- Personal med record
- Medication related action plan
- Intervention and referall
- Documentation and follow up
What is MTR?
- Uses the PPCP
- Comprehensive or targeted to an actual/potential DRP
What is personal med record?
COmprehensize med list
What is med related action plan?
- Patient centered and collaborative
- Pharamcists scope of practice
- Include follow up
What is intervention and referral?
- Consulting
- Addressing DRPs
- Refer
What is Documentation and follow up?
- Evalves
- Communication
- Outcomes
Describe the Plan, Implement, and Follow Up steps in the Pharmacist’s Patient Care Process (PPCP) (CO 4). -You should also be able to describe the Assess step.
- Assess: prioritize and identify problems
- Plan: patient-centered, individualized, collaborative
Goals of therapy, DRPs, interventions neccesary, follow up to track outcome
- Implement: put the plan into action, collaborate with patient and healthcare professionals
- Follow up: How are thing, is it effective, what changes need to be made
Develop an individualized patient-centered care plan using SMART goals (CO 4, 7).
Specifc: What is the goal
Measurable: How will we know when the goal is reached
Achievable: Is it in your power to accomplish it?
Realistic: Can it be done?
Timely: When do we want to accomplish it?
