An Aerosol Inhalation Monitor (AIM) may provide insight into a patient’s capability of utilizing inhaled medications. Objective: The purpose of this quality assessment was to determine if the addition of the Vitalograph AIM device by ambulatory care pharmacists within an outpatient primary care clinic improves patient’s disease control through changes in pharmacotherapy. Methods: This was a retrospective, longitudinal, quality assessment review. Pharmacists met with patients for initial and follow-up appointments. A chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) or Asthma Control Test (ACT) and AIM assessment were performed and pharmacotherapy was subsequently adjusted. The primary endpoint was the change in initial to last recorded ACT and CAT score and was analyzed by Wilcoxon sign-rank test. Results: Twenty asthma and 17 COPD patients were included; 13 asthma and 13 COPD patients were included in the primary and secondary endpoint analysis. Initial median (interquartile range [IQR]) ACT score was 17 (14-23), first follow-up was 20 (18-24), and last recorded score was 22 (18-23). Initial median (IQR) CAT score was 17 (12-22), first follow-up score was 14 (6-20), and last recorded score was 11 (6-19). There was no statistical difference between initial CAT or ACT to first follow-up or last recorded CAT or ACT. Most patients continued their current inhaler regimen. Conclusions: This review demonstrates the positive effect pharmacists can have on respiratory disease management. The improvement in ACT and CAT scores suggests a positive, clinically significant outcome. Future research should evaluate pharmacist’s effect on asthma and COPD readmission rates.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141351894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A population approach leveraging a DOAC Dashboard was implemented to track all patients on a DOAC followed by a physician at an academic medical center. The DOAC Dashboard is a real-time report within the electronic health record (EHR) that identifies patients who require evaluation for DOAC dose/therapy adjustment due to changing renal function, age, weight, indication, and/or significant drug-drug interaction (DDI). Objective: This study aims to describe the initial phase of DOAC Dashboard implementation, to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and to assess a multidisciplinary approach to management. Method: Retrospective descriptive study of the DOAC Dashboard from August 22, 2019, to January 20, 2022. Primary outcomes include total number of alerts addressed and interventions needed. Secondary outcome is the proportion of interventions implemented by the prescribing clinician. Result: A total of 10 912 patients were identified by the DOAC Dashboard at baseline. A total of 5038 alerts were identified, with 668 critical alerts, 3337 possible critical alerts, and 1033 other alerts. Pharmacists addressed 1796 alerts during the study period (762 critical alerts and 1034 possible critical). Critical alerts included 62 significant DDI, 379 inappropriate dosing, and 321 others. Of the critical alerts, intervention was needed in 291 cases (38%), with 255 (88%) of proposed interventions implemented.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess glycemic control in patients started on INSTI-based 3-drug regimens over a 2-year period. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients seen in the Brooklyn Hospital Center.

Data Sources: A systemic database search of PubMed/MEDLINE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library was conducted for articles with keywords romosozumab, osteoporosis, and safety between inception and July 2022. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Phase 3 trials in patients with osteoporosis were included. Data results from these trials were utilized for assessment. Data Synthesis: Romosozumab decreased vertebral fracture incidence by 73% at 12 months ( P < 0.001) in osteoporotic postmenopausal women compared with placebo. In an active-controlled fracture study in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture, a 48% lower risk of new vertebral fracture was observed at 24 months in the romosozumab-alendronate group ( P < 0.001) compared with alendronate group. In a study comparing romosozumab with teriparatide in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture, 2.6% of the mean percentage change from baseline in the total hip (TH) areal bone mineral density (BMD) was observed with romosozumab, while teriparatide led –0.6% of change ( P < 0.0001).

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the development of a VR 360 video for second-year student pharmacists. The secondary objective was to assess the VR experience, specifically on participants’ knowledge and performance in sterile compounding, as well as the VR video demands and efforts. Methods: This cross-sectional, open-label randomized study developed a VR 360 video introducing sterile compounding, created with Insta360 Pro and GoPro cameras. The video creation required two individuals to record and one individual to edit for approximately 12 hours of creation time. Participants’ knowledge and performance were assessed through ten knowledge questions and the class activity rubric. The NASA Task Load Index (TLX) measured the VR experience demands and efforts for the VR sterile compounding introduction. Results: Of the 98 second-year student pharmacists, 19 consented to the study with 7 in the VR group and 12 controls. Student knowledge increased from 6.33 (0.8) to 8 (1.2) for the VR group and 7 (0.7) to 8 (0.7) for the control group. Performance for the classroom activity was 23.71 (0.3) for the VR group and 22.96 (0.9) for the control group. The NASA TLX values demonstrated positive findings for the VR experience. Conclusion: With the limited study enrollment, comparative analysis between standard materials and the VR 360 video could not be determined.
