National Safety Feature OMNICELL LAUNCHES NEW REPORT TO PROMOTE BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS OF CARE FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MEDICATION This month, Omnicell UK & Ireland is launching a new report ‘SAFE: Safeguard Against Frontline Errors’. The report is part of a wider campaign to raise awareness and promote best practice standards of care for the management of medication across the NHS, in particular A&E departments.
technology in order to create a system that can cope efficiently with these pressures and deliver a world-class health service. Both resources are available free of charge to NHS Trusts and Patient Safety Collaboratives in an effort to share best-practice and learning across the NHS.
As well as helping to drive much-needed efficiencies, the SAFE report has analysed the key role automation plays in patient safety around medication management and compliance. Recent gures show that in the 12-months leading up to September 2016, more than 190,000 medication errors involving the management of medication were reported in England to NHS National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS). These errors include; giving the wrong medicine, the wrong dose of the right medicine – or giving medicine to the wrong patient. The majority, nearly 150,000 were reported in UK hospitals. Yet, technology exists via innovative digital dispensing and management systems which can dramatically reduce, if not eradicate, all these errors.
The report, authored by a leading independent pharmaceutical expert, found that within an A&E setting, ward-based pharmacy automated medicines cabinets result in a more efficient and reliable system for patients and staff. NHS hospitals which have installed these systems found that they:
Omnicell has launched the SAFE report together with an A&E Standard of Care booklet to encourage more Trusts and policy makers to embrace ward-based pharmacy
- Improve patient safety: reducing incidents of missed doses - Improve productivity and efficiency: reducing ad-hoc ordering, stock-outs and wastage - Fuel much needed costs savings: reducing stock line, consumption & expiry losses - Improve ‘swift and safe’ patient discharge: thereby reducing ‘bed-blocking’ The report goes on further to demonstrate that poor medicines management from old systems and working practices signiicantly impacts A&E discharge times and the ow of patients throughout a hospital with huge
consequences. It identiied a series of key consequences as a result of poor medicines management in this area including; lost & missing pharmacy cupboard keys, time consuming administration with the Controlled Drugs Register, poor stock control and lack of medic medication audit trail. Paul O’Hanlon, Managing Director at Omnicell UK & Ireland comments; “Transformational change, even in the most challenging of circumstances is possible to help deliver a world-class health system. We hope that both resources will help the NHS share best-practice and learnings from medication-based automation and show how introducing efficiencies provides a safety net for professionals managing medicines and ensure quality care remains at the forefront of our NHS.” For a copy of the SAFE report or A&E Standard of Care booklet contact marketinguk@omnicell.com.
