Five Principles of ePMA Benefits Realisation

1. Aligning ePMA benefits with organisational goals

2. Creating ePMA benefits profiles

3. Estimate benefits using ‘evidence-based approach’

4. Linking ePMA benefits with QI initiatives

5. Establishing good data management

Principle 1

Aligning ePMA benefits with

organisational goals

Vision and Values

Trust vision: To be the UK’s leading specialist centre for heart and lung disease.

The Trust will achieve this mission by:

• Improving patient safety and satisfaction.

• Providing world class specialist treatments that others cannot offer.

• Bringing innovation to clinical practice through our research partnerships.

• Attracting, developing and retaining world class clinical leaders.

• Investing in services, technologies and facilities to support new service models at both sites.

Creating ePMA benefit profiles

Benefit Profile

Benefit 1: Safety - Transcription Errors

Level 1

Inpatient

Safety – Transcribing Errors

Methods

• Identify patients stay > 14 days

• Estimate number of transcription

• Estimate number of transcribed medication orders

• Transcribing error rates

Safety – Transcription Errors

Results

• Estimated between 1500 – 1800 drug charts required transcribing per annum

• Approx. 10 medicines/ chart

• Hence 15000 – 18000 transcribed prescriptions

Literature search

• Transcription error rates = 16.8% (Doormaal et al., 2015)

Principle 3

Estimate benefits using ‘Evidence-Based Approach’

Estimating Number of Transcription Errors at RBHT using literature

Transcribed Orders

• 15000 - 18000 items/ annum

Transcription Error Rates

• 16.5% (Doormaalet al., 2015)

Estimated Error

• 2500 –3000 / annum

Transcription Error Categories

A: an error occurred but error did not reach the patient

B: An error occurred and reached

patient, but did not cause harm

C: An error occurred that reached that

patient and required monitoring

D: An error occurred and resulted in harm

Estimating number of transcription error by categories

A (84.6%)

•2115-2540

B (13.9 %)

•350-420

C (0.4%)

•10-12

D (1%)

•25-30

Results estimated based on RBHT PAS data and Doormaal et al., 2015A: An error occurred but error did not reach the patientB: An error occurred and reached to patient, but did not cause patient harmC: An error occurred that reached that patient and required monitoring D: D: An error occurred and resulted in harm

Benefit 2: Efficiency Gain

Prescribers/ Pharmacists

• Assume each transcription task takes 5 mins

• Efficiency gained by EPMA (prescribers’ time) ~ 17 – 20 work days/annum

Estimated value gained

SHO £3300

+ Pharm £3300

Value gain £6600 (per annum)

Calculation based on SHO salary ~ £ 40KPharmacist salary ~ £40K

Principle 5ePMA generates data.

Data is an asset. Asset requires owners.
