The ePMA team has implemented functionality allowing clinical pharmacists to document and record interventions they make as part of their day-to-day duties. As part of this, the ability to alert clinicians if there is a medication safety issue has been introduced (both passive and active alerts).
Once recorded, the system highlights if there is a medication issue that needs investigating. This is visible to prescribers and nursing staff as an icon displayed on the electronic medications admission record (eMAR).
A report has also been developed with the Information Reporting Team as a visual representation of the number and type of interventions made across all clinical areas.
