HUMS Hospital

• 1. The pharmacist reviews the doctor’s extemporaneous medication order submitted via CliniCare.
  2. Prescription screening follows the standard process applied to all medication orders received through CliniCare. The attending pharmacist ensures that the “7Rs” of medication dispensing are verified:
  • Right patient
  • Right diagnosis
  • Right medication
  • Right dosage
  • Right frequency
  • Right route
  • Right duration
  3. The established three-step workflow—Screen, Prepare, and Dispense is applied consistently. This includes pharmacist intervention, when necessary, as supported within the Pharmacy System.
  4. If pharmacist intervention is performed, system should provide a dropdown for user to select (capture) the reason for Intervention. The dropdown list includes:
  • Incomplete or unclear prescription
  • Incorrect drug selection
  • Wrong dose or strength
  • Drug interactions
  • Allergy or contraindication
  • Wrong route or formulation
  • Wrong frequency or timing
  • Treatment length too short or too long
  • Therapeutic duplication
  • Medication not available in stock
  • Legal or regulatory compliance

5. The system captures the identity of persons involved in the process of dispensing (screening, filling, dispensing) and recognize single or multiple roles for the process of dispensing.
6. Identity should include: Staff name, Staff Number (if required), Staff position (e.g. Pharmacist or Assistant Pharmacist).

N/B:
Pharmacist intervention during the prescription screening process refers to professional actions a pharmacist takes when they identify a potential issue, risk, or error in a prescription before the medication is dispensed. Activities include:
• Contacting the doctor to confirm or correct unclear, incomplete, or potentially unsafe orders.
• Identifying prescribing mistakes such as incorrect drug strength, duplication of therapy, or contraindicated medications.
• Ensuring the patient is not prescribed a drug they are allergic to or one that is contraindicated for their condition.
Single Role refers to a single end user who is involved in the entire process of dispensing (screening, filling and issuance of medication).
Multiple roles refer to different end users who are involved in the process of dispensing (screening, filling and issuance of medication).
Screen, Prepare, and Dispense a.k.a Screening, Filling, and Dispensing (or Screening, Preparation and Supply).
