Barriers to medication error reporting in a federally qualified health center.

Objective: To explore the National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention Categories of Errors health professionals are most likely to report and characterize what barriers to medication error reporting influence decisions to report and the extent they do so at a large federally qualified health center (FQHC).

Design: Prospective, cross-sectional, survey.

Setting And Participants: A total of 161 medical professionals at a large FQHC clinic with a small pharmacy team.

Collaborative inpatient and ambulatory care topic discussions in experiential education: An approach to assessing the Pharmacists' patient care process and transitions of care.

Introduction: The Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP) is woven throughout the doctor of pharmacy program; however, advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) are not structured in a specific order allowing students to apply the PPCP across the care continuum. Two faculty preceptors from two practice sites, inpatient family medicine and ambulatory care, joined to provide twice weekly, preceptor-led collaborative topic discussions to bridge this gap. This paper describes an approach to improve students' knowledge by incorporating progressive cases and assessments highlighting care across the continuum aligned with the PPCP.

Future leaders in pharmacy (FLIP): Student perceptions of leadership development within pharmacy school.

Introduction: This study evaluated the perceptions of student pharmacists in their final year regarding leadership development and feelings of preparedness to assume their first leadership role after graduation.

Methods: This research was conducted using an anonymous, researcher developed, online instrument distributed to 21 institutions across the United States for students in their final semester. Data collected included demographics, the availability/benefit of leadership development activities, and perceptions of leadership skills a pharmacist needs.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for chronic noncancer pain and prescription opioid use disorder: A qualitative pilot study of its feasibility and the perceived process of change.

Background: Mindfulness-based interventions have a positive impact on pain, craving, and well-being in both patients with chronic pain and those with opioid use disorder (OUD). Although data are limited, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) might be a promising treatment for patients with chronic noncancer pain combined with OUD. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the feasibility and process of change during MBCT in this particular population.
