Heart failure ( HF ) care takes place in multiple settings, with a variety of providers, and generally involves patients who have comorbidities. This situation is “perfect storm” factors that predispose to medication errors. The goals this paper are outline potential roles for clinical pharmacists multidisciplinary team, document outcomes associated interventions by pharmacists, recommend minimum training engaged care, suggest financial strategies support pharmacy services within team. As...
Shared medical appointments (SMAs) in heart failure (HF) are visits where several patients with HF meet multidisciplinary providers at the same time for efficient and comprehensive care. It is unknown whether HF-SMAs can improve overall cardiac health status high-risk discharged from acute A 3-site, open-label, randomized-controlled-trial was conducted. Participants within 12 weeks of care (emergency-room/hospitalization) requiring intravenous diuretic therapy were randomized to receive...
Medication errors, adverse drug events, and nonadherence lead to increased health care utilization risk of clinical outcomes, including graft loss, in solid organ transplant recipients. Veterans living with transplants represent a population that is at substantial for medication safety events fragmented coordination issues. To improve long-term outcomes veteran patients, interventions should address interorganizational system failures provider-level patient-level factors.This study aims...
Shared medical appointments (SMA) help patients learn skills to self-manage chronic conditions. While this model of care delivery is thought improve access with an efficient use healthcare providers’ time, many teams struggle implement model. Guidance and training resources on the implementation SMAs expected adoption, sustainability SMAs. Our evaluation team collaborated HF SMA trainer complete a developmental formative two-day program goal adapting better suit needs interested in...
Introduction Medication errors, adverse events, and nonadherence in organ transplant recipients are common can lead to suboptimal outcomes. A medication safety dashboard was developed identify issues therapy. Research Questions Can a multicenter bioinformatics accurately clinically relevant US military Veteran recipients? Design The tested through 24-month, prospective, cluster-randomized controlled study. Pharmacists used the address potential issues, which compared with usual care. Results...
Shared medical appointments (SMAs) offer a means for providing knowledge and skills needed chronic disease management to patients. However, SMAs require time attention investment from health care providers, who must understand the goals potential benefits of perspective patients providers. To better how gain provider engagement inform future SMA implementation, qualitative inquiry experience based on knowledge-attitude-practice model was explored. Semi-structured interviews were conducted...
