These medications offer benefits such as an improved safety profile, similar efficacy, standard dosing regimens, and a lack of routine and necessary monitoring when compared to warfarin, which has been the standard of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation therapy since its development over 60 years ago. However, there are some factors which can compromise safe use that must be considered. Increased prices often confer a higher out of pocket cost, which can impact adherence. Because these medications do not require frequent monitoring, patients may develop worsening liver and/or kidney function which may go unnoticed for long periods of time. This can lead to inappropriate dosing The purpose of this study was to assess DOAC use in a small health system and to determine whether patients are being appropriately dosed and monitored while taking these medications. Methods: In this retrospective study, patients initiated on a DOAC during the study period were identified and categorized based on various criteria, including renal and liver function, age, relevant past medical history, and concurrent medications that increase bleeding risk. Patients who met all inclusion criteria were identified using ICD-9/10 codes. The primary outcome of this study was to determine the prescribing and monitoring accuracy of DOAC dosing in the outpatient setting. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of bleeding on DOAC therapy, the use of blood transfusions and...

Learning Objectives. Recognize pharmacokinetic changes that may occur during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in adult patients Identify the recommended parameter that determines initial argatroban dosing in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia Which of the following pharmacokinetic changes is commonly described in adult patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation? A Decreased volume of distribution B: Increased drug absorption C: Sequestration of lipophilic drugs D: Sequestration of hydrophilic drugs FDA labeling recommends adjustment of initial argatroban dose in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia based on which of the following parameters? A Creatinine clearance B MELD score C Child-Pugh classification D Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) Q1 Answer: C Q2 Answer: C Caleb J. Divens, PharmD, MBA*; Jeffrey A. Johnson, PharmD Veteran Affairs - Aleda E. Lutz Medical Center,1500 Weiss St,Saginaw,MI,48602 Caleb.Divens@va.gov Purpose: The purpose of this work is to develop and implement a service that allows for clinical pharmacists to attend educational presentations during work hours. The VA provides many continuing education opportunities for its employees. Pharmacists are required to receive 30 CE hours by the time their license is up for renewal, but with high-volume prescription processing and occasional staff shortages, pharmacists are reluctant to complete CE at work. Awareness and implementation of a service to allow clinical pharmacists to complete CE at work will increase pharmacist engagement amongst healthcare professionals in the VA as well as increase job satisfaction as reflected in the annual All-Employee Survey. Methods: A base survey was distributed to clinical pharmacists to establish the needs of an educational opportunities service. Gaps in scheduling continuing education opportunities were identified with pharmacy leadership. Based upon results of the base survey, the service was established providing continuing education opportunities for pharmacists to attend during their scheduled work shifts. Continuing education opportunities include on- site presentations, teleconference presentations, and online CE resources. Clinical pharmacists are encouraged to identify other continuing education opportunities to add to the service. Post- attendance surveys are completed by the pharmacist every time continuing education has been completed on their shift, and a recap of the presentation is presented at pharmacy meetings with the rest of the department to fa...

Effective medication management is an imperative part of transitional care for patients after hospital discharge. To date, literature has demonstrated the role of the pharmacist at discharge but literature is scarce to support models that operate from the primary care setting. To improve the care of high-risk Veterans transitioning from the hospital back to primary care, the Columbus VA has initiated a pilot, pharmacist- managed transitions of care (ToC) clinic. The ToC pharmacist screened utilization review documents to identify patients who had recently been discharged from the hospital. Patients with a Care Assessment Needs (CAN) score greater than 90 were called and offere a ToC visit within 14 days of discharge. Hospital records were assessed along with patient interviews to identify medication related problems. All recommendations were summarized in an encounter note and alerted to the primary care physician (PCP) for xxxxxx.Xx date, the ToC pilot clinic has enrolled 21 patients. The clinic will continue to see patients through June 2018. Outcomes of clinic interventions will be assessed next year using the inverted research model. Clinic implementation presents unique challenges at each individual facility. Independent of facility variation, it is critical to the success of a clinic to gain support from pharmacy leadership and collaborating providers. One way to build acc...
