The focus of the Connections of Care Coalition was to review the medication reconciliation process and to involve pharmacists in the transition of patients to SNFs. The objective of the project was to work as an interdisciplinary team to improve the communication during transitions of care from our hospital to local SNFs by identifying key issues and initiating pharmacy practice change. This quality improvement project had a pre-post study design. Patients older than 18 years of age discharged to SNFs and/or readmitted from SNFs within 30 days were included. Baseline data was collected, specific pharmacist interventions were identified, educated on and implemented, and post-implementation data was collected. The number of interventions made and documented by pharmacists for patients being discharged from CMH to local SNFs did not significantly change during this quality improvement study. Clinically significant interventions were made on high risk medications, such as warfarin. Finally, a newly redesigned SNF workflow was implemented to include pharmacy, nursing, social work/case management to improve patient care and safety for discharges to SNFs.展开更多

However, pre-analytical phase is primarily responsible for errors. Hence, it is of precise importance for the laboratory to study error occurrence rates during the testing cycle and implement a quality improvement plan to release an accurate result. The present study was conducted during the period Jan-Nov 2014 in the Central Clinical Lab in Osmaniye State Hospital, Turkey. During period of 11 months, 626897 samples were monitored for major preanalytical problems at the receiving counter of the Central Clinical Laboratory. Among all preanalytic laboratory errors, 35.4% of the errors were associated with clotted sample, 25.5% errors with inadequate sample, and 25.3% errors with hemolysed sample in the laboratory. Assessment considering the departments showed that emergency unit had the highest error rates (hemolysis: 52.5%, lipemic: 42.9%, damaged: 34.6%, clotted: 34.2%, inadequate: 26.8%, wrong material: 17.6%, wrong barcode: 16.7%). There was significant difference among the departments in terms of preanalytic errors (p 〈 0.001). Based on these observations, major preanalytic errors are of great concern and needs corrective approach via proper educational programs to related personals. If this area is ignored, that can lead to negative patient outcome. However, a better specimen quality and patient satisfaction are achieved with the high quality personal-based education regarding pre-analytical errors.展开更多
