Apply root cause analysis to adverse events involving chronic disease drug therapy.
Managing Drug Therapy for Chronic Diseases
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to chronic disease drug therapy.
Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess chronic disease drug therapy on documented evidence of consistent practice. Variation in drug therapy between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this area of health and pharmaceutical services are used deliberately. Progress on chronic disease drug therapy is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this strand of health and pharmaceutical services and supervised application. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in drug therapy that were visible long before the incident. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about chronic disease drug therapy. It establishes a shared vocabulary for drug therapy so that teams can disagree productively about it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within health and pharmaceutical services that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Drug therapy: quality indicators and patient outcome
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Auditing drug therapy at the bedside, not in the binder
- Apply structured root cause analysis to the last adverse event involving chronic disease drug therapy.
- Remove steps in drug therapy that add effort without adding assurance.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on chronic disease drug therapy.
- Set the review interval for drug therapy and who attends.
Session 2Getting other functions to support drug therapy
- Cost chronic disease drug therapy per episode and identify avoidable waste.
- Arrange the handover of drug therapy so capability survives staff changes.
- Assemble the accreditation evidence pack for chronic disease drug therapy.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of drug therapy before proposing changes.
Drug therapy: supply, cold chain and availability
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Medication safety checkpoints inside drug therapy
- Rehearse the briefing on chronic disease drug therapy that would follow an incident.
- Confirm patient data handled within drug therapy meets confidentiality obligations.
- Benchmark the organisation's chronic disease drug therapy against comparable operations.
- Match staffing levels on drug therapy to measured demand across the week.
Session 2The evidence assessors will ask for on chronic disease drug therapy
