An external facilitation intervention to increase uptake of an adverse drug event reporting intervention.

Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a leading cause of emergency department visits and hospital admissions in Canada. ActionADE prevents repeat ADEs by enabling clinicians to document and communicate standardized ADE information across care settings. We used an external facilitation intervention to promote the uptake of ActionADE in four hospitals in British Columbia, Canada.

Development of clinical pharmacy key performance indicators for hospital pharmacists using a modified Delphi approach.

Objective: A group of hospital pharmacists aimed to develop national cpKPIs to advance clinical pharmacy practice and improve patient care.
