Filter by:An automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) is a computerized drug storage device or cabinet designed for hospitals. ADCs allow medications to be stored and dispensed near the point of care while controlling and tracking drug distribution.This study seeks to obtain quantitative measurements of the impact of the regulated ADC System installed in select high volume units throughout the hospital.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a hospital pharmacy team (pharmacy technicians and pharmacists) together with (recently admitted) patients are able to diminish the number of drug related problems including adverse drug events, made before, during and after admissions resulting in reductions of re-hospitalizations and costs.
Patients often have problems after they leave the hospital, in part because errors are made in the medications they are prescribed. The goal of this project is to develop a more accurate and safe medication prescription process when patients enter and leave the hospital and implement this process at six U.S. hospitals. The investigators will measure the success of the project and develop lessons learned so this process can be applied to other hospitals.
Adverse drug events (ADEs) after hospital discharge are common. The purpose of this research study is see if we can design an electronic tool given to your primary care provider (PCP) that will reduce adverse drug events, hospital readmissions, and emergency department visits after you are discharged from the hospital.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) evaluate the reliability and validity of EMS screening for depression and cognitive impairment and 2) to develop a pilot ED intervention program to address the needs of older adults found to be at risk for depression and cognitive impairment.
