Pharmacy collection: Difference between revisions

*If I enter my drug counts on a new line on a daily basis (rather than at the end of a patients stay), will the program add up the number of treatment days (like the lab sheets)..or do we have to add/total as we enter?? Could the date line have a "+/-" button so we can change the date to match our date of collection? [[User:Mlaporte|Mlaporte]] 09:17, 20 December 2011 (CST)

**I asked Tina and she said she didn't put the line to total(as in labs) because there is no space. However the lines will total. She will look into putting the + or- button when she returns from her vacation in January. Need to manually put in date till then. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 15:40, 20 December 2011 (CST)

**Plus and minus now added.--[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 15:29, 26 January 2012 (CST)

*You do not need to change any prior entries for patients admitted prior to Jan 1, 2012, but stop collecting the old way on everyone after Jan 1. Any pharmacy collection after Jan 1 on all patients should be the new way. Some patients will end up having a portion of old entries (up to Jan 1) and new pharmacy entries after this. That is OK, the data will be cumulative. I hope this helps to clarify.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:54, 23 December 2011 (CST)

*opioids cont(inous) inf - does this include PCA narcotics?

**I would think that because PCA is not CONTINUOUS,then is should not be included in this category.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 14:31, 24 January 2012 (CST)

==January 26, 2012 Feedback New Pharmacy collection==

*amount of time collecting has diminished with not having to count exact doses.

*Quicker and easier than previous process.

*Helpful that drugs are categorized rather than alphabetized

*Helpful that list include both generic and trade names

*Very helpful to have printed list as reference.

*Date plus and minus is great additional makes adjusting date much more simple and quick

*transition to new process took some time and still taking time to learn all the new drugs that we are not familiar with.

*more training about new drug list before implementation

*not enough support for question related to drugs themselves.

*workload increase at HSC site with the ADDITION of drug collection

*in total there is approx. 175 drugs potentially being looked for in charts, however with not having to tally each one separately because they are in once category, once you learn the list it is much quicker than old process. You still have to look all over pharmacy sheets including ICU Flow sheet to find them all. IV Antibiotics given may not be charted in drug sheets, only on flow sheet in some ICU's.

*can be confusing for those individual drugs in categories that have both IV and PO. Not sure if some are available both IV and PO.

*a number of drug names not familiar. Never see them at some sites.

*Entry on laptop most difficulties

**area of entry so very small

**very easy to inadvertently enter the count under wrong drug and not notice

**font quite small and subsequently is gets tiring on eyes

**multiple entries on different days is a problem. The viewing screen rolls so that you cannot see the drug name, this creates another potential for entry error.

*Long term patients - files can be difficult to collect especially when the MAR has been recopied several times. The flow of MARS become disjointed, confusing and time consuming. Takes extra time and ensure accuracy.

*use paper collection form for long stay patients - after 3-4 weeks.
