ForwardOptimization of Inpatient Medication Administration among Persons with Parkinson’s disease: Recommendations on Pharmacy Technology and Workflow
Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are vulnerable during hospitalizations due to the underlying complexities of symptoms, and acute illness or medication changes often lead to decompensation.
When hospitalized, people with Parkinson’s are at risk of complications resulting from inaccurate medication administration. While hospital pharmacists are not solely responsible for the accuracy of medication administration, they play an integral role in safe pharmacotherapy. Pharmacy-based strategies to reduce hospital complications focus on timely administration of levodopa-containing medications, reducing substitutions and omissions of antiparkinsonian medications, and avoiding antidopaminergic medications. This paper highlights critical areas for improvement and recommendations to minimize the impact of other risk factors from the pharmacy standpoint.
