The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy Scripts: The Effects of Vancomycin Use and De-escalation in Patients Hospitalized with Pneumonia.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) causes about 80,000 severe infections each year. Compared to Methicillin-susceptible (MSSA), MRSA is associated with higher mortality and increased hospital length of stay (LOS). Vancomycin hydrochloride, an antibiotic with activity against MRSA is often used as empiric therapy for pneumonia.

Potentially preventable medication-related hospitalizations: A clinical pharmacist approach to assessment, categorization, and quality improvement.

Objectives: The primary objective of this report is to describe a quality improvement practice designed to identify and categorize potentially preventable medication-related hospital admissions. The secondary objective is to present data collected from this practice and describe how it was used to improve a pharmacist intervention focused on reducing medication-related readmissions.

Setting: This practice was developed as part of the quality improvement system supporting a pharmacist-led care transition model that was implemented across rural and urban counties in Hawaii.

The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy Scripts: The Development of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Hawai'i.

In recent years the misuse of antimicrobials has contributed to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP) decrease the misuse of antimicrobials by supporting a rational, systematic approach. ASP strategies vary from broad-ranging policies and other decision support tools to prospective audit review of patients on antimicrobials.
