Objective: To explore the national survey of hospital medication safety practice during mass gathering (Hajj -2016) The survey distributed to sixteen hospitals, the response rate, was eleven hospitals (68.75%). The total score of all ISMP-self assessment of medication safety was 3.39 +/-0.51 (67.68 %) with CI (3.2-3.6) P< 0.05. Medication preparation and dispensing included two domains; communication of drug order with scores 3.53 (55%), drug labeling and packaging with scores 3.57 (71.4%). The highest score of two sections the products with look-alike drug names and packaging segregated and not stored alphabetically 4.5 (90%) while the lowest score was a presenting of alerting with computerized physician order entry 2.1 (42%). Conclusion:The standardized medication process during preparation and dispensing is acceptable rate with missing the intravenous admixture and repackaging services. Targeting to continue the level of improvement and correction the missing services is the potential goals in the mass gathering pharmaceutical care during Hajj period. In addition to the annual survey of medication safety during medication preparation and dispensing is a crucial requirement of best medical services provided to all pilgrims in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

The 5-points Likert response scale system used. The survey distributed to sixteen directors of hospital pharmacy during mass gathering Hajj-2016. The medications safety officer at Makkah region distributed the questionnaire and made follow up on a daily basis used physical visiting and through the telephone call. Results: The survey distributed to sixteen hospitals, the response rate, was eleven hospitals (68.75%). The total score of all ISMP-self assessment of medication safety was 3.39 +/-0.51 (67.68 %) with CI (3.2-3.6) P< 0.05. The average rating of Patient Education domain at all hospital were 3.75 (63.6 %) while the mean score Quality Processes and risk management domain at all hospital were 3.18 (67.8%). The highest score of both domains was a Drug selection, preparation, and labeling errors identified during routine checking processes reported and collected 4.1 (82%). The lowest score of both domains was the Machine-readable coding used to verify all based solutions and additives 2 (40%). Conclusion: The patient education and quality process and risk management related to medication safety were acceptable at the hospital during mass gathering Hajj period. May be the correction of computerized physician order entry and using of new technology will minimize the patient risk and improve hospital pharmacy management of medication safety during a mass gathering in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionThe implementation of new drug safety information and Direct Healthcare Professional Communications (DHPCs) in hospitals is important for patient safety. Objectives The aim of this study was to gain insight into which procedures and practices are in place to handle new drug safety information and particularly DHPCs in the Dutch hospital setting. Methods We first conducted focus groups including medical specialists and hospital pharmacists, focusing on handling of drug safety information at the individual and organisational level. A survey was then developed and distributed among hospital pharmacists in all Dutch hospitals to quantify the existence of specific procedures and committees to handle drug safety information and DHPCs. Results Eleven specialists and 14 pharmacists from six hospitals participated in focus groups. Drug safety information was usually considered before drugs were included in formularies or treatment protocols. Furthermore, drug safety information was consulted in response to patients experiencing adverse events. DHPCs were mostly dealt with by individual professionals. DHPCs could lead to actions but this was very uncommon. Completed surveys were received from 40 (53%) of the hospitals. In 32 (80%), the hospital pharmacy had procedures to deal with new drug safety information, whereas in 11 (28%) a hospital-wide procedure was in place. Drug safety was considered in committees concerning drug formulary decisions (69%) and antibiotic policies (63%). DHPCs were assessed by a hospital pharmacist in 50% of the hospitals. Conclusions Drug safety information was used for evaluation of new treatments and in response to adverse events. Assessment of whether a DHPC requires action was primarily an individual task. Key PointsDrug safety information is consulted when evaluating new drugs and updating hospital formularies or when confronted with adverse events in individual patients.
