Development and clinical gains of nurse-led medication monitoring profiles

Abstract

The West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction profile offers opportunities to improve care. Medication monitoring provides the structure to concurrently monitor known adverse drug reactions. Practice-based adverse drug reaction profiles benefit from cognitive, content validity and inter-rater reliability testing.

Factors that condition the spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions among nurses: an integrative review

“…Further, the implementation of proactive medication monitoring in clinical practice, such as the West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction Profile, could be an important approach in identifying the potential ADRs associated with commonly prescribed medications (Jordan et al . , Gabe & Jordan , Gabe et al . ).…”

“…No educational programme is effective without organisational change and vice versa. To succeed, the implementation of proactive medication monitoring, such as nurse‐led ADR profiles (Gabe & Jordan ), needs to be considered.…”

Testing an explanatory model of nurses’ intention to report adverse drug reactions in hospital settings

“…). Fostering organisational empowerment towards ADR reporting should improve proactive medication monitoring in clinical practice, such as in the West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction Profile (Gabe & Jordan ). In fact, several recent studies have shown better quality and safer medication monitoring using the West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction Profile for patients with dementia in a nursing home (Jordan et al .…”

Validation of a modified early warning score‐linked Situation‐Background‐Assessment‐Recommendation communication tool: A mixed methods study

“…A mixed‐methods design was used for development, validation and reliability testing of the prototype Cape Town MEWS‐linked SBAR tool (Gabe & Jordan, ; Grove, Burns, & Gray, ). In research, epistemological and methodological pluralism is aimed at producing more effective research (Johnson & Onwuegbuzie, ).…”

“…In research, epistemological and methodological pluralism is aimed at producing more effective research (Johnson & Onwuegbuzie, ). To identify potential measurement or response error, we undertook CIs to explore the interpretation of the SBAR tool by future users (nurses and medical doctors), content validity analysis (Lynn, ; Yaghmale, ) and IRR testing (Gabe & Jordan, ).…”
