Data Sources: Articles were identified through searches conducted in May 2016 by means of MEDLINE/PubMed (2000-2016) using search terms designed to identify English-language articles describing the role of the pharmacy technician, medication reconciliation, and transitions of care. Additionally, resources on medication reconciliation were used from The Joint Commission, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, American Pharmacists Association, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Articles describing the role of the pharmacy technician, medication reconciliation, and transitions of care. Data Synthesis: Pharmacy technicians can help pharmacists perform medication reconciliation by taking on 3 specific roles in the process: obtaining preadmission medication history, obtaining relevant patient information from outpatient pharmacies and health care providers, and documenting the compiled medication list. Pharmacy technicians can help resolve discrepancies in medication lists, therefore improving patient care, the ability of pharmacists to communicate with physicians, and thus to clinically intervene in patient care. Furthermore, with proper training, pharmacy technicians may take on expanded roles designed to aid pharmacists with advanced patient care services to eliminate medication discrepancies and improve transition of care. Conclusions: Pharmacy technicians can play a vital role in helping pharmacists to obtain accurate patient medication histories in order to decrease medication discrepancies at transitions of care.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":"11 1","pages":"3 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79646867","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}

Stroke prevention (SP) using anticoagulation therapy was recommended in AF patients. Knowledge about AF and SP (KAFSP) is one of the essential factors that can improve patients’ adherence. Yet no established studies were found to determine patients’ KAFSP among AF patients. Objectives: To develop and validate the questionnaire used to measure KAFSP. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 4 hospitals in Malaysia. The psychometric of the KAFSP Questionnaire (KAFSP-Q) were performed using content validity index (CVI), internal consistency, test-retest, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and sensitivity test. Results: A total of 304 patients completed a face-to-face interview to answer the KAFSP-Q. Content and face validity was assessed by 6 experts who are knowledgeable in this field and 15 AF patients, respectively. The KAFSP-Q had good CVI and were well understood by AF patients. The KAFSP-Q also had good reliability and stability with Cronbach’s α of .83 and intraclass correlation coefficient values in test-retest for stability of .9. The EFA results indicated that there were 6 factors with factor loadings above .30. The low correlations between subscales ranged between .01 and .48, which indicated that good discriminant and construct validity were achieved. The scale was able to differentiate between patients’ knowledge levels before and after counseling given. Conclusions: The KAFSP-Q is reliable and valid to measure patients’ KAFSP. Further validation studies are recommended to validate the KAFSP-Q in different contexts and in other languages.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":"189 1","pages":"31 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78067060","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}

Community pharmacy technicians can aid in CPS support tasks on training, but it is unknown to what extent. Objective: To determine the effect of community pharmacy technicians on industry standard adherence performance measures after CPS training. Methods: Sixteen community pharmacy technicians within a supermarket chain division were chosen to participate in CPS training based on internal pharmacy benchmarking data. The training program consisted of 3 components: (1) classroom and (2) web-based training for medication therapy management platforms and (3) Hands-on in-pharmacy training. Researchers used pharmacy-specific EQuIPP reports of the proportion of days covered (PDC) for adherence related to diabetes, cholesterol, and hypertension to measure the primary outcome. September through October 2015 represented baseline data. November 2015 through March 2016 represented intervention data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized for this retrospective analysis. The University of Tennessee Institutional Review Board classified the study exempt from review. Results: Overall, 100% of Cholesterol PDC 4-Star sites improved to a 5-Star score and 56% of sites improved in the Diabetes PDC score. All sites maintained a 5-Star score for RASA PDC postintervention. An average increase of 2.36% was observed for Cholesterol PDC across all sites. Possible lag time between the intervention and score improvements may limit relatability of results. Conclusions: This is the first study to report a positive trend between technician involvement in CPS and improvement in industry standard adherence performance measures. Further research capturing a longer time frame may be beneficial.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":"50 1","pages":"230 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75092979","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}

Pharmacists may assist in identifying and treating this special patient population. Objective: To characterize and compare the screening, treatment, and control of blood pressure (BP) in patients with DD to patients without DD. Methods: This retrospective study identified adult patients of primary care practices within a large academic health system who had DD (DD group) and a comparator group without DD (GenMed group). Outcomes assessed included percentage of patients screened, mean BP, percentage of patients with controlled BP, and antihypertensive medications prescribed. Results: The DD (n = 183) and GenMed groups (n = 497) were nearly all screened for BP. Mean systolic BP was significantly lower in the DD group (119.9 ± 14.6 mm Hg vs 122.8 ± 15.4 mm Hg GenMed, P = .03), while diastolic BP was no different (P = .7). Stroke was documented significantly more often in the DD group (5.5% vs 1.4%, P = .005). Of patients with uncontrolled BP, the DD group had significantly higher systolic BP (155.8 ± 14.1 mm Hg vs 147.4 ± 9.5 mm Hg GenMed, P = .02). Hypertension was documented in 32% of DD group versus 38.5% of GenMed group, P = .15. Of this group, 88.1% of the DD group had controlled BP versus 78.0% of the GenMed group, P = .09. Antihypertensive prescribing was not different between the groups. Conclusion: DD group patients had similar outcomes for hypertension therapy compared to patients without DD. Those with uncontrolled BP in the DD group tended to have higher systolic BP. Significantly more DD patients had a history of stroke.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"234 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90066309","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}

Few studies have been conducted that evaluate pharmacist-managed services for the management of the DOACs. Objective: To review the appropriateness of DOAC therapy and warfarin therapy in adult patients in a university-affiliated outpatient clinic and the need for further monitoring of these agents. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients receiving a DOAC or warfarin therapy. Indication, dose, duration, age, weight, adherence, drug interactions, bleeding risk/history, renal function, and hepatic function were evaluated for DOACs and warfarin. If prescribed warfarin, international normalized ratio readings were also obtained. The pharmacists made verbal recommendations to primary care prescribers regarding findings, and changes to therapy were reviewed and documented. Results: A total of 175 patient charts were reviewed (49% DOACs, 51% warfarin). Twenty-five percent of prescribed DOACs should have been avoided due to inappropriate indication or renal function. The majority of these were switched to warfarin after discussion with the primary care provider. Of patients prescribed DOACs, 22% had a history of poor adherence to therapy and half of these were switched to warfarin. An additional 24% of prescribed DOACs were inappropriate due to incorrect dosing, major drug interactions, and/or renal dosing; however, these medications could be appropriate if adjustments are made. Nineteen percent of patients on warfarin therapy would be a candidate for DOAC therapy. Conclusion: Although there were limitations to this analysis, the results demonstrate that additional intervention is needed to improve appropriate prescribing and monitoring of the DOACs. Pharmacists can meet this need by providing medication reviews of novel anticoagulants and educating physicians.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":"40 1","pages":"245 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81527800","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}

The impact of clinical pharmacists providing asthma management and education to obstetric patients is unknown. Objective: Evaluate the impact of and patient satisfaction with clinical pharmacy services on asthma in pregnancy. Methods: This prospective quasi-experimental study enrolled 30 pregnant patients with asthma and assessed perceived asthma understanding, control, and inhaler technique before and after a clinical pharmacist visit and education. The primary outcome was change in pre- and postsurvey scores. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale; higher scores represented higher perceived knowledge or satisfaction. Secondary outcomes included inhaler technique scores, asthma control, correlating patient-specific factors with the primary outcome, and level of patient satisfaction with clinical pharmacy services. Results: Perceived knowledge of asthma in pregnancy median score (maximum score 50) significantly increased with clinical pharmacy education (37.5 pre vs 49 post, P = .001). Prior to clinical pharmacy services, patients highly rated their perceived knowledge of asthma in pregnancy with median scores on 7 of 10 items between 4 and 5. Despite this, significant changes were observed on 9 items. The proportion of patients with controlled asthma significantly increased after the pharmacist visit (33.3% vs 90%, P < .001). Satisfaction with clinical pharmacy services was overwhelmingly positive with average scores on all items 4.5 to 5.

Study Selection and Data Extraction: Search results were limited to systematic reviews assessing TTR with VKAs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or venous thromboembolism (VTE). Data Synthesis: Six systematic reviews assessed TTR (4 in AF, 2 in VTE), and 3 of those assessed control at the time of a thrombotic or bleeding event (2 in AF, 1 in VTE). In patients on VKAs, greater TTR is correlated with fewer thromboembolic events and bleeding complications. VKA naïve patients have a harder time maintaining TTR than those with a previous knowledge of the likely therapeutic dose. Patients in the United States spend less TTR than those in other countries. Randomized clinical trials and anticoagulation clinics achieve greater TTR than those treated outside of these settings. The overall TTR has not improved from the first systematic reviews to the newest ones even though they were conducted 10 years apart and contained many new studies. Also, TTR in AF and VTE is similar. Conclusions: TTR is an important metric of VKA efficacy and safety and needs to be optimized. Many factors such as being VKA naïve can compromise TTR, and the use of anticoagulation clinics to optimize therapy is an important approach.","PeriodicalId":16796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Technology","volume":"92 1","pages":"253 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79999478","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}

The median score was 5 (“excellent”) on all items in the survey, and many demonstrated an average response of 4.81 to 4.9 or higher, demonstrating that almost all respondents chose “excellent.” The next set of questions assessed the clinical pharmacist’s role with the clinic’s multidisciplinary team and asked respondents to answer questions based on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from “strongly disagree” (1) to “strongly agree” (5). The majority of responses to questions in this section were between 4.19 and 4.84. Reasons for referring patients to the clinical pharmacist were smoking cessation, asthma management, psych medication use/issues, adherence/polypharmacy, medication reconciliation, counseling on medication safety in pregnancy, insulin/heparin administration, and substance abuse.
