The present study was proposed to map the distribution of pharmacovigilance units in health programs, assess the availability of key resources, the implementation of key pharmacovigilance activities and identify needs of involved actors.Methods: It was a cross sectional descriptive study targeting all health programs of the Cameroon Ministry of Public Health administering drugs/vaccines to the population. Data were collected using semi structured questionnaire administered face to face to key persons in charge of drug safety monitoring or drug management in health programs.Results: Out of the 09 health programs involved in drug distribution, 07 consented to participate. Five out of them (71.4%) claimed to have existing pharmacovigilance units. Office space, computers, operating budget, data analysis software and a trained staff were available in 28.6%, 42.9%, 42.9%, 14.3%, 00.0%, and 42.9% of the health programs respectively. One of the 7 health programs (14.3%) declared conducting detection/notification of adverse events following exposure drugs, 2 (28.6%) conduct causality assessment and 3 (42.8%) conduct analysis of pharmacovigilance data. All health programs proposed to prioritize the allocation of budget and qualified personnel and the training of existing personnel as key interventions to improve drugs/vaccines safety monitoring in health programs.Conclusion: The study reports limited coverage of Cameroon health programs with activities leading to drugs and vaccine safety monitoring. Suggested actions have to be taken into account when attempting to improve the situation.","PeriodicalId":16958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacovigilance","volume":"10 9","pages":"10000385"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7614915/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9972776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies show that adverse drug reactions lead to acute hospitalizations. We noticed a decline in pharmacovigilance activities in our Centre, thus we aim to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of pharmacovigilance in Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH). Method: It was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study design using stratified sampling method in administering 183 questionnaires to Pharmacists, Doctors and Nurses in JUTH from May to June, 2019. Results were presented in proportions and a p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: The modal age of respondents was 26-35 years. On sources of information on pharmacovigilance, 39.9% got information from Journal texts, 3.3% through television/Radio set, 29.5% from combination of Journals, Television/Radio, Colleagues, Seminars and lectures. The overall good knowledge of pharmacovigilance was 62.3%, majority (84.7%) had good attitude while most (63.4%) had poor practice of Pharmacovigilance. There were statistical significant differences in knowledge, attitude and practice of Pharmacovigilance in relation to the three professions (p=0.000). Conclusion: This study shows that health care professionals in Jos university teaching hospital had good knowledge and attitude towards pharmacovigilance but had very poor practice.","PeriodicalId":16958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacovigilance","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87337578","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}

At the same time anticoagulants are a notorious cause of medication errors. Such medication errors can jeopardize patients’ health and challenge the economy of healthcare systems. With the potential of e-health systems for reducing medication errors, our study investigates the effects of medication highlighting. Methods: To highlight medications with anticoagulatory properties in the electronic health records of cardiologic inpatients, a color scheme was introduced at our university hospital. We performed chart reviews of DOAC-related medication errors due to co-prescription of more than one anticoagulatory drug or omitted pausing of DOACs before interventions with increased bleeding risks. Chart reviews were performed before and after the introduction of medication highlighting. Patients having received a DOAC prescription at any point in time during their hospital stay were included. Results: 305 (out of 1.045) patients had received DOAC before and 277 (out of 1.062) received DOAC within a three-month period after the color scheme introduction. DOAC-related medication errors occurred in 25 of the 305 (8.2%) inpatients in total before medication highlighting, while 6 errors occurred in 277 inpatients (2.2%; p= 0.0013) afterwards. Conclusion: Highlighting anticoagulatory medications in the electronic medical record led to a reduction of DOACrelated prescription errors.","PeriodicalId":16958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacovigilance","volume":"118 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90315142","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}
