Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the impact of smart pump interoperability on the frequency, type, and severity of errors in intravenous medication administration in a healthcare setting.
- Data was collected through observations of medication administration before and after implementing the smart pump system, showing a significant overall reduction in errors.
- The findings revealed a 16% decrease in medication administration errors, with notable reductions in expired and high-risk medication errors, though some error types still occurred, indicating a need for further research on optimizing technology use in this process.
Purpose: The development and outcomes of two pharmacist-managed diabetes care clinics (DCCs) are described.
Methods: Retrospective data analysis was performed to determine the outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated in two pharmacist-managed DCCs. Primary outcome measures included changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), fasting plasma glucose, body mass index, low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure and documented annual retinal and micro-albumin screening.
