Seamless Pharmaceutical Care System, Dialysis Patients, Research and DevelopmentAbstract
This research and development have developed a seamless pharmaceutical care system for hemodialysis patients linking government hospitals with private clinics and hospitals in Sisaket Province. The study was divided into 3 phases. Phase 1 was a retrospective study and situation analysis. Data from 60 medical records were collected and 18 interdisciplinary personnel were interviewed. Interview forms and data recording forms were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and content synthesis were used to analyze the data. Phase 2 developed the pharmaceutical care system, created the Hemodialysis SSK system, linked laboratory test results, and developed a set of 8 components: Policy, Provider, Materials, Revise CPG, Refer/Fast track, Tele-health, Risk management, and Monitoring. Data was collected from a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the data. Developed pharmaceutical care system model. It has potential for further implementation. Phase 3 The outcome study compared the experimental and control groups. The sample consisted of 30 interdisciplinary professionals, each with 30 medical records. Data were collected from the questionnaire developed in Phase 2 and expand using a t-test, with a significance level of 0.05.
Results showed that implementing the pharmaceutical care system (V2) in the outcome evaluation phase significantly increased healthcare professionals' knowledge after training (t = 15.78, p < .001), with satisfaction and feasibility levels exceeding 86%. Additionally, the proportion of DTPs at level E and above significantly decreased (Z = –2.09, p < .01), while eGFR values showed no significant difference between groups. Based on feedback, the pharmaceutical care system (V3) was developed and implemented in the scale-up phase. Results demonstrated significantly increased knowledge (t = 17.78, p < .001), satisfaction levels exceeding 94%, and DTPs proportion significantly decreased from 13.3% to 0% (Z = –2.68, p < .01).
