Patient-perceived understanding of home-going medication with transitions of care services at a pediatric institution
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: Transitions of care (TOC) is the coordination and continuity of health care as a patient transfers between different settings. This can include a wide range of services, such as medication reconciliation, patient counseling, bedside delivery of medications, and others that meet individual patient needs. In the pediatric population, patients are at increased risk of potential medication errors and subsequent harm owing to reduced patient and caregiver health literacy, limited dosage form availability, and errors in medication administration. The use of TOC services at the time of hospital discharge in this population has the potential to make a positive impact on patient safety and the treatment of medical conditions. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether patient-perceived understanding of home-going medications was greater in patients and/or caregivers who received medication bedside delivery and education from a pharmacy-led TOC service at a large pediatric academic medical center. The secondary objective was to determine whether the primary practice area of the pharmacist providing medication education led to changes in understanding of home-going medication(s). METHODS: Using institution-wide, patient satisfaction surveys from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, patient and caregiver responses were queried for 2 questions about home-going medications, relating to the understanding of administration and the potential adverse effects. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on TOC services received, as documented in the electronic medical record (EMR). Survey responses for each of the 2 questions were categorized as top-box percentage by study group. Hypothesis testing between study groups for the primary and secondary outcomes were conducted using chi-squared tests at an alpha of 0.05. Statistical analyses were conducted using SAS version 9.4. RESULTS: Of the 1159 patients included in the study, 441 received TOC services, deemed the intervention group, and 718 did not receive TOC services, deemed the control group. When the intervention and control group were asked about understanding of medication administration, 96.37% versus 93.18% of patients (P = 0.007) gave the most favorable response of "yes, definitely," respectively. Furthermore, 78.51% versus 77.44% of patients (P = 0.053) gave the most favorable response when asked about understanding potential medication adverse effects, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients receiving TOC services by a member of the pharmacy team had a greater score for understanding of both medication administration and adverse effects. Furthermore, this greater score was consistent among the education provided by the inpatient and outpatient pharmacist.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
