Patient Safety Opportunity (CEI) Adverse Drug Event Surveillance Rachel Digmann, Pharm.D, BCPS Medication Safety & Program Lead Quality Innovation Network-National Coordinating Center Telligen
Disclosures Rachel has no conflict of interest to disclose. 2
Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Define ADE, pade, medication error and adverse drug reaction Explain the role of medication safety on hospital admissions and re-admissions and how these issues are currently affecting hospitals Discuss the role of other community stakeholders on medication safety and care transitions Identify the emerging role of the pharmacist in the quality based reimbursement structure of healthcare 3

National Action Plan: Adverse Drug Event (ADE) Defined by the IOM as an injury resulting from medical intervention related to a drug 8
National Action Plan for ADE Active versus Passive surveillance Active= proactive collection of information, primarily from health records, or databases Passive= relies on clinicians or patients to voluntarily report information Active surveillance typically required to quantify scope and magnitude of health problem and assess trend 10
National Action Plan for ADE Actual harm versus potential harm/medication errors Surveillance of actual harm (ADE) Prioritized to evaluate population-based ADE prevention efforts Surveillance of potential harm/med errors Helpful for screening Helpful to monitor safety within a facility Not ideal for National ADE surveillance 11

Standardize Measurement Uniform definitions ADE Medication Error/Near miss May vary target populations Evaluate the data monthly Roll up data Use the data to evaluate systems/trends NON-PUNATIVE Praise reporting indivduals 15
Medication Safety isn t just about Medication Readmissions ER visits Physician Office Visits Loss of patient productivity Increased healthcare costs Decreased quality of life Revenue Wait what??? 16
Inconsistent Measurement How does your organization measure patient safety (ADE)? What is your organization s rate of ADE for the highrisk classes of medications? How does your organization compare to other similar organization s? Who is responsible for monitoring and managing ADE at your facility? Across all CAH facilities? 17
Telligen- Medication Safety 10 th SOW (2011-2013) Recruited 5 pharmacy based teams Community, clinic (faculty), LTC, FQHC ~ 500 pts followed Identified High-risk populations Anticoagulation Diabetes Antipsychotic Provided training, tools & resources Assessed outcomes and data 18
Data monthly into a template (gasp, extra work!) 19

Elderly Patients at Increased Risk for ADE Hospital admissions related to ADEs in adults > 65 years was 24.9% 1 One-quarter of all ADEs are preventable 2 The CDC estimates that $3.5 billion is spent on extra medical costs associated with ADEs every year 27 1 Bourgeois FT, Shannon MW, Valim C, Mandl KD.

Outcome Analysis 1. You identify a patient who appears to be having hypoglycemic events at home based on monitor readings. You contact the doctor to adjust the patient diabetes medications. Does this intervention prevent the patient from having any of the following: a) Hospital admission b) ER visit c) Physician office visit d) New medication added to treat her problem e) Not sure, but I would really LOVE to know!! 29
Outcome Analysis 2. Which stakeholders would benefit from knowing about your interaction with the diabetic patient: a) Patient b) Physician c) Payer d) Employer 30

Leaving in Action Which profession is in the best position to provide assistance to those who be measured/assessed by ADE outcomes? How will you demonstrate that you are better equipped than any else to handle this job? 34
