Impact of a Policy Change on Pharmacists’ Reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions

Abstract: <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> Spontaneous reports of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) form an essential component of both drug safety monitoring and patient safety initiatives. Pharmacists are well positioned to report ADRs, but many barriers exist to their doing so.

“…Changes in ADR reporting policy alone was shown to only minimally improve ADR reporting practices [19] despite the follow up evaluation was conducted only three months after the introduction of the new policy. Both studies focused on policy/regulatory interventions were specific to a particular clinical setting, Canadian Forces Health Services Group [19] and specific hospitals [21] in China. While one study [19] made a reference to a national policy change, evaluation was limited to the impact on a specific clinical setting (table 2).…”

A study [19] evaluated novel organisational policy for reporting adverse drug reactions by streamlining the process of reporting and incorporating ADR reporting mechanisms as part of the organisational accreditation documents. Two studies [20,21] focused on the improved regulation for reporting ADRs resulting from antibiotics use.…”

The related studies carried out on the area have solely been focused on knowledge and attitudes of healthcare workers in hospital settings.…”

“…Les facultés de pharmacie de partout au Canada enseignent aux étudiants les objectifs derrière la déclaration des RIM ainsi que son importance et les stages cliniques comprennent souvent des éléments du processus de déclaration des RIM au sein de leurs activités obligatoires. Malgré l'accent mis sur la déclaration des RIM dans l'enseignement de la pharmacie et dans la pratique de la pharmacie hospitalière, la fréquence des déclarations est sousoptimale, car les pharmaciens n'avaient envoyé à Santé Canada que 10 % de l'ensemble des déclarations de RIM en 2012 1,5 . Que pouvons-nous faire en tant que praticiens de pharmacie Les observations cliniques représentent des mécanismes efficaces de diffusion d'information importante à propos des RIM et une excellente façon de commencer ou de continuer à publier.…”
