Comprehensive workflow evaluation to improve medication distribution to the emergency department in an academic medical center
CONCLUSION: This study showed that implementation of standard, hourly batches of medications dispensed from the pharmacy to the ED resulted in a significant reduction in the total percentage of redispensed medications and missing-medication messages. The overall reduction in redispensed medications as a result of this innovative workflow change not only benefited nursing and pharmacy staff but can reduce medication waste and improve patient care through timely administration of medications.PMID:38527294 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae084 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)

Evaluation of a pharmacist-led workflow for the FDA Expanded Access Program
CONCLUSION: Given the lack of published information on a pharmacist-led workflow related to EAP services, this study sought to share DUH's process for managing EAP requests. As there is no mechanism for reimbursement of EAP services, they can be difficult to manage given the labor resources required. Further work is needed to recoup unreimbursed investigational drug service labor costs to ensure compassionate use programs can be implemented in a manner that is financially sustainable for a health system.PMID:38527421 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxae088 (Source: American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy : AJHP)
