Research on Capability Maturity Evaluation of Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services using Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services Data Reporting and Analysis Platform

Abstract

Abstract Purpose: To enhance the capabilities of Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services (PIVAS) in ensuring the safety and appropriate utilization of intravenous medications in medical institutions. Methods: The Regional Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services Data Reporting and Analysis Platform (RPDRAP) was established in 2018. This platform comprises a data collection system and a data analysis system. The data collection system consists of 67 data items and utilizes network-based data collection. The collected data were analyzed using a model with 20 indicators within the data analysis system. Fifteen PIVAS participated in the platform's application evaluation. Results: The study revealed significant differences in PIVAS total score, supervisors, and workload between 2020 and 2022. The platform's application results demonstrated improvements in personnel management, work efficiency, and infection control within these PIVAS. Although statistical significance was observed in only 8 out of the 25 items, most of the scores showed an increase, with a small portion remaining unchanged and no decline in scores. Conclusions: This platform can be recommended for PIVAS homogeneous and regional efficient management. The use of this platform not only improves the quality control ability of PIVAS but also enables the management department to quickly grasp the current situation and characteristics of each PIVAS through standardized data collection and analysis.
