QAP INDICATOR 1 :

PERCENTAGE OF PRESCRIPTIONS WRONGLY FILLED AND

DETECTED BEFORE DISPENSING

1.0 BACKGROUND The drug dispensing service is an important function of the pharmacy department in

hospitals and health clinics. At all times, accuracy in the drugs dispensed to the

patients must be upheld, as wrong drug given to the patient could result in dire

consequences. This indicator refers to the number of prescriptions that are wrongly

filled and detected on counterchecking before being dispensed to the patient. This

indicator is not meant to be punitive but for remedial action to be taken.

2.0 RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF INDICATOR

This indicator is developed to measure and monitor the incidence of errors during the

medication preparation process. It is also to ensure correct dispensing of medications

to the correct patients as prescribed (in terms of types of drugs, quantity, frequency

and dosages).

3.0 OBJECTIVES

3.1 To detect / document each occurrence / incidence of prescription wrongly

filled but detected before dispensing.

3.2 To identify weaknesses in the system and to take remedial action to prevent

its recurrence.

3.3 To instill patient’s confidence in receiving the right medication.

- Form QAP 1A - is used to collect data related to any errors detected

while Counter-checking.

- Form QAP 1B - is used to collect data related to factors contributing to

errors detected before dispensing.

Percentage of prescriptions = wrongly filled and detected before dispensing

Number of prescriptions wrongly filled x 100 % Total prescriptions counterchecked

7.2 SAMPLING

7.2.1 Inclusion criteria

QAP INDICATOR 2:

PERCENTAGE OF CLINICAL PHARMACOKINETIC SERVICE (CPS)

RECOMMENDATIONS ACCEPTED BY THE REQUESTING DOCTOR / UNIT

1.0 BACKGROUND

Since the role of the Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service (CPS) pharmacist is to

monitor and give consultation on Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, an indicator to

examine the quality of service should be determined. Acceptance of the

pharmacist’s recommendation by the doctors not only reflects the quality of the

CPS unit and it also ensures that the CPS unit is in step with the current medical

practice of the doctors. This indicator will be useful to gauge the level of

competency expected for the service.

2.0 RATIONALE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDICATOR

The acknowledgement and acceptance of the pharmacist’s recommendations

from medical practitioners reflects the quality of Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service.

This indicator will also further establish the communication and cooperation

between pharmacists and other health care professionals.

3.0 OBJECTIVE

To obtain the level of acceptance from doctors based on the CPS

recommendations given by pharmacists.

4.0 STANDARD

More than 85% of the CPS recommendations are accepted by the requesting

doctor / unit.

The Pharmacy Practice & Development QAP Indicators Manual Version 2/2010

Ministry of Health Malaysia Page 20

5.0 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Recommendation – Any suggestions based on drug assay interpretation and

patient assessment. Number of recommendations should

be equivalent to the number of drug requested.

E.g. Drugs requiring pre and post assay is considered as 1

recommendation

Acceptance – The interpretations and recommendations are accepted

by the requester.

Requesting

doctor / unit

– Refers to requesters in hospitals / institutions which

require Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service.

7.0 METHODOLOGY 7. 1 METHOD OF COLLECTING DATA

- Compile all monthly requests.

- Determine the number of assays received.

- Determine the number of recommendations that are accepted by the

requester.

- Use the following formula for calculation:

Percentage of CPS recommendations accepted by the requesting doctor / unit =

X 100%

Total number of CPS recommendations

- For Out-sourced cases, the referring center is supposed to

make the CPS recommendations based on the sample

analysis and follow up the case in the ward. The hospital that

made the CPS recommendation should report it in QAP 2.

7.2 SAMPLING

- All Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service (CPS) recommendations.

7.2.1 Inclusion criteria

QAP INDICATOR 3:

PERCENTAGE OF TOXICITY CASES INTERPRETED AND RECOMMENDATIONS

COMMUNICATED WITHIN TWO HOURS TO THE REQUESTING DOCTOR / UNIT

1.0 BACKGROUND

Although less than 5% of all Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service (CPS) requests are

for toxicity cases, the prompt reporting of assay result is vital to ensure that

timely initiation of the most appropriate therapy can be given to the patient. The

CPS pharmacist’s role in monitoring appropriateness of therapy and giving

consultation on Pharmacokinetic Services is critical. Fast and reliable reporting is

a valuable tool and is the indicator to determine the quality of service. Hence it is

of utmost importance for the doctor to notify the pharmacist upon receiving

alleged poisoning / toxicity cases.

2.0 RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF INDICATOR

The time at which assay result is communicated (either verbally or in written

format) to the requesting doctor / unit will indicate the reliability and impact of

the CPS to the patient care system.

3.0 OBJECTIVE

To minimize the extent of toxicity effects towards the patients, by monitoring the

time taken for the results and recommendations to be communicated to the

requesting doctor / unit.

The Pharmacy Practice & Development QAP Indicators Manual Version 2/2010 Ministry of Health Malaysia Page 32

INDICATOR QAP 4 :

PERCENTAGE OF VALUE OF STOCKS DISPOSED AND WRITTEN OFF TO

VALUE OF STOCKS HANDLED ANNUALLY

1.0 BACKGROUND

The drug expenditure of the Ministry of Health (MOH) runs into almost RM 2 billion each year,

constituting about 10% of the MOH annual budget. In MOH hospitals, the value of drugs and

medical consumables that are purchased through the hospital pharmacy stores amounts to a

significant percentage of the hospital budget. Stocks written-off and disposed can amass up to

millions of Ringgit Malaysia (RM) in losses every year. Stocks disposed are usually due to

preventable circumstances such as drug expiry, obsolesce, deterioration and damage due to

poor storage condition can be avoided by efficient hospital pharmacy store management. Stocks

are written-off due to unpreventable circumstances such as disaster, deterioration or theft

contribute a considerable amount to the pharmacy financial losses yearly and must be

accounted for as well. Hence the role of the pharmacy store management is to minimize

wastage due to preventable circumstances, ensure adequate supply and improve the cost

effectiveness of the healthcare service.

2.0 RATIONALE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF INDICATOR

This indicator is developed to improve stock management by the pharmacy store as the amount

of stocks written-off annually and the justifications for writing off these items are captured and

analysed. This will enable corrective and preventive measures to be taken to enhance the cost

effectiveness of the health care system.

3.0 OBJECTIVE

1. To measure the wastage due to stocks written-off and disposed.

2. To improve pharmacy store management

4.0 STANDARD

0% of the value of stocks handled annually.

7.0 METHODOLOGY 7.1 METHOD OF COLLECTING DATA - Prepare a list of items for disposal and write-off as per schedule using the prescribed

form (KEW.PA-17, KEW.PS-19 & 21) and proceed to fill in Form QAP 4A and Form QAP

4B or 4C.

- Determine the value of written-off stocks, disposed stocks and value of stocks received

annually.

- All stocks identified for disposal / written off must be approved for disposal / written off

within the same fiscal year.

- Use the following formula for calculation :-

% of Value of Stocks Disposed & Written Off =

Total Value of Stocks Handled Annually = Value of Opening Stock + Value of stocks

received annually - Value of Closing Stock

- The Form QAP 4A, Form QAP 4B and Form QAP 4C will include the items listed in the

exclusion criteria, as the management of these items need to be reported to the

Pharmaceutical Services Division.

- However, in the calculation of the Percentage of Value of Stocks Disposed and Written

Off in Form QAP 4, the items listed in the exclusion criteria will not be included (e.g:

Life Saving Items and National Pandemic Items)
