24 1. What are the five elements of the CBAM project and what type of activities is HPIC currently undertaking at the Kabul public hospital pharmacies? 2. How is HPIC working with pharmacists in Kabul, Afghanistan to increase access to medicines for the population? Surfing (the Net) or Walking the Beach with a Metal Detector? Tips and Tricks to Find What You Are Looking For THERESA HURLEY, BSCPHM, ACPR, CAPITAL HEALTH, HALIFAX, NS, VANESSA SHERWOOD, BSC(HONS) PHARMACY, IWK HEALTH CENTRE, HALIFAX, NS Drug Information is a specialized area of pharmacy concerned with the provision of unbiased, well referenced, and critically evaluated information on a variety of aspects of pharmacy practice. In reality, many questions that arise on a day-to-day basis are challenging to answer as there may be sparse information. Hospital pharmacists may work in a centre that has a Drug Information service or have access to a regional service. However, even in centres with Drug Information pharmacists there are many occasions where pharmacists are required to answer drug information questions without additional assistance. This session will be a workshop-style, case-based format looking at a variety of drug information questions including the specialized populations of pregnancy, lactation, psychiatry, pediatrics and palliative care. Real life examples from the Drug Information centres in Halifax will be used and the session will include an opportunity to ask general questions of the Drug Information pharmacists. Web-based resources as well as traditional texts will be used to highlight the usefulness of different resources in answering particular questions, and there will be an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of individual resources. While one short session cannot possibly attempt to answer all drug information questions hospital pharmacists encounter, this session will provide participants with some tips and tricks to answer some challenging questions effectively and quickly. Goals and Objectives 1. Educate pharmacists on resources available to answer drug information questions 2. Encourage discussion and questions on the best approach to drug information questions 3. Raise awareness of specific resources for specialized populations Self-Assessment Questions: 1. Which websites/texts will I use to answer drug information questions after this session? 2. What are the weaknesses of these resources and how can I address these? Digging into the “Statistical Analysis” Section of a Study: A Day at the Beach … or Opening Pandora’s Box? SCOT H. SIMPSON, BSP, PHARMD, MSC, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, FACULTY OF PHARMACY & PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON, AB A fundamental part of quantitative research is to select the most appropriate statistic for testing the hypothesis. Whether you are an investigator helping to design the project or a clinician critically appraising the final report, we all need to know how to determine which statistic to use. This workshop will use the following approach to achieve the goal and objectives. First, the facilitator will provide a short overview of general categories and terms used in statistics. This presentation will introduce the key issues to consider when selecting a statistical test as well as a flowchart to help facilitate selection. Second, a research question will be used to discuss possible hypothesis, variables to use, and selection of an appropriate statistical test. Participants will work in small groups to discuss these issues and then share comments with the larger group. Third, a recent publication examining the research question will be used to illustrate how to critically review the “data analysis” section. Goals and Objectives 1. The purpose of this workshop is to describe a practical approach for selecting a statistical test. 2. Identify the critical pieces of information needed to help determine what statistical test would be appropriate. 3. Review the underlying assumptions of common statistical tests used in pharmacy practice research. 4. Increase confidence and understanding when critically reviewing the “data analysis” or “statistical analysis” paragraph of a paper. Self-Assessment Questions 1. What are 3 critical pieces of information that I need to help select an appropriate statistical test? 2. What is the difference between parametric and nonparametric statistics? 3. When should I ask for advice from a biostatistician? Antibiotic Surgical Prophylaxis – is the Tide Changing? MONIQUE PITRE, BSCPHM, FCSHP, UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK, TORONTO, ON It is estimated that 15% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure will have a surgical site infection. This can have a negative effect on mortality, readmission rates, length of hospital stay and cost. The purpose of this session is to review the
25 evidence and rationale for antimicrobial surgical prophylaxis and opportunities to improve practices. Goals and Objectives 1. To review the appropriate use of prophylactic antibiotics 2. To identify the key parameters for optimal antimicrobial surgical prophylaxis including dose, timing and duration 3. To review the potential negative impact of prophylactic antibiotics 4. To review the role of antiseptic prophylaxis Self-Assessment Questions 1. How do you determine the most appropriate agent for the surgical procedure? 2. What is the optimum timing of antibiotic administration? 3. Is there any benefit to administering antibiotic prophylaxis beyond 24 hours? Perioperative Medication Safety: Focus on the Operating Room MELANIE MACINNIS, BSCPHM, PHARMD, HAMILTON HEALTH SCIENCES, HAMILTON, ON The purpose of this session is to provide the attendee with an understanding of the inherent medication safety risks present in the operating room (OR) to patients and staff on a daily basis. The OR is an area of the hospital which requires many high-alert medications to be present in order for anesthesia to be administered and surgeries to proceed. Despite the knowledge of the easy accessibility and availability of agents such as narcotics, neuromuscular blocking agents, and vasoactive medications; the systems developed around medication use in this environment still rely heavily on individual accountabilities and low leverage safety strategies. The pharmacist’s role within perioperative care tends to focus on pre-operative clinic screenings; post-operative care unit involvement; and medication reconciliation activities. Pharmacy technicians may or may not be utilized within the operating rooms to manage medication distribution and storage. Pharmaceutical products are delivered to operating rooms; but there tends to be a “black hole” beyond the main OR doors where there is little understanding of medication use. Pharmacist involvement in the operating room; and increased understanding of anesthesia, surgical, and nursing practices in the operating room environment can lead to safer medication use, distribution, and storage. This presentation will review literature on medication safety occurrences within the operating rooms; and specifically anesthesia practice. The experience of one large tertiary care teaching center will also be shared; including risk assessment in the operating rooms; evaluation of automated medication dispensing technology for the operating room; and results of an failure mode effect analysis (FMEA). Goals and Objectives 1. To review the literature on the incidence and cause of medication safety occurrences in the operating room environment; and specifically anesthesia practice. 2. To review pressures and risks in the OR with respect to safety of patients and staff and legislative requirements. 3. To review the role of automated anesthesia carts as one potential strategy to minimize the risk of medication safety occurrences. 4. To highlight the successes and challenges of one institution attempting to provide a safer operating room environment for patients and staff. Self-Assessment Questions 1. What is my institutions model of medication distribution and storage in the OR for ward stock medications and for narcotics? 2. Are there any changes which can be implemented at my institution which decrease the reliance on low leverage error reduction strategies?
