Ensure competent practitioner completes risk assessment/prescribes and administers pharmacological/mechanical thromboprophylaxis Provide a culture of safety and quality improvement Ensure executive sponsorship Provide clinical leadership Reliable collaboration of multi-disciplinary team Develop measurement framework to guide improvement Ensure Patient and family centred care Provide patient information on admission Involve Patient/Family in risk assessment and treatment process Promote open communication among team and family Optimise transitions to home or other facility Today in Acute Medicine Unit compliance – 93% VTE prophylaxis – 90% Medicines reconciliation on admission – 72% - cause under investigation Antibiotic * Based on random samples of 5 patients per week Key messages Pharmacists can play a key role in patient safety Do not rely on pharmacists alone to deliver improvements related to medicines Match tests of improvement to your existing resource Maximise use of ehealth systems How many pharmacists do you have?
