Evaluating Antiretroviral Prescribing Errors in Hospitalized Patients
I will be reviewing retrospective data to evaluate the antiretroviral prescribing errors in patients that are hospitalized and discharged. According to the US DHHS, adherence to antiretrovirals has a strong correlation to HIV suppression. A study performed in 2003-2004 at Froedtert Hospital evaluated the prescribing errors of antiretrovirals and its effects on HIV suppression. This study was done prior to pharmacist-driven medication histories and reconciliation; we hope to see how effective a pharmacist’s intervention can have on a disease state that requires 95% compliance to remain effective. From data collected over the past year, I plan on assessing the need for implementing further education to pharmacists and physicians and potentially developing a systematic approach to managing HIV patients while hospitalized and upon discharge.
Why did you choose to pursue a residency?
My main reason for deciding to do a residency was to become a confident, well-rounded, knowledgeable pharmacist. I felt after 6 years of pharmacy school that I needed a more in-depth focus on hospital pharmacy and to experience areas of pharmacy that I was unable to see during pharmacy school. I also enjoy learning and knew that with a residency I would only continue to learn how to improve my skills as a practitioner.
What attracted you to Froedtert’s pharmacy residency program?
I wanted a residency that would offer rounding with physicians, medical residents, and pharmacy students. I liked the multitude of rotations to choose from and flexibility in scheduling. On the same side I enjoyed the structure of the residency and everything was laid out right away during interviews that I knew Froedtert was a fit for me. I wanted also to have a residency at an academic hospital to improve on my preceptor skills with pharmacy students. You also can not beat the amount of critical care rotations offered as well.
