RESUMO

PURPOSE: An investigational drug services (IDS) pharmacy plays a vital role in supporting clinical trial research by ensuring the safe and efficient management of investigational products. This article describes the implementation of an electronic project management software to improve an IDS pharmacy's study protocol work. The article describes the implementation of the software and how this approach addressed specific challenges, including project oversight, process standardization, documentation, reporting, accountability, and intrateam communication. SUMMARY: We describe an electronic project management software system used to streamline and standardize the work associated with study protocols. This software provides an organized and customizable workspace to manage tasks associated with each study protocol. The software automates task creation, tracks progress, and ensures comprehensive record keeping. Additionally, the software fosters effective communication within the team and offers real-time reporting to assess team productivity and progress. We have observed improved consistency, enhanced revenue, including approximately $18,000 in additional fee capture, and increased collaboration among pharmacy team members. CONCLUSION: Implementing an electronic project management software has proven highly beneficial in the IDS pharmacy. The software has significantly improved workflow efficiency by addressing challenges in study protocol management. While initial setup and training required time and resources, the long-term benefits in project oversight, collaboration, and revenue capture justify the investment. An electronic project management software is a valuable tool in managing the complexity of study protocol activities and supports the pharmacy's crucial role in advancing clinical research.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This project compared the time to complete investigational prescription drug order verification by investigational drug service (IDS) pharmacists in an onsite vs offsite (hybrid) staffing model, evaluating the impact of remote work on verification time. METHODS: Parenteral IDS drug orders from August 2019 through June 2022 were analyzed. Electronic medical records were timestamped for each order, first verification, second verification, and medication administration. The project was divided into four 6-month time periods to allow for 2 independent comparisons of onsite vs hybrid staffing models. A survey was given retrospectively to IDS pharmacists for the last hybrid timeframe to assess work satisfaction and burnout. RESULTS: A total of 4,398 orders were evaluated. The time from order entry to first verification was 14 minutes (n = 1,248) during the first onsite time period compared to 13 minutes (n = 1,042) during the first hybrid period (P = 0.003). The time for order verification was similar between the second onsite and hybrid periods (12 minutes [n = 1,041] vs 10 minutes [n = 1,067], respectively; P < 0.0001). The staff satisfaction survey for the hybrid model showed high levels of job satisfaction and no self-reported burnout. CONCLUSION: The remote hybrid staffing model did not result in a meaningful change in the time from order placement to medication administration within the IDS pharmacy. Hybrid staffing also resulted in greater job satisfaction among IDS pharmacists. This study highlights the benefits of implementing remote work practices in the pharmacy practice setting.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a mainstay of treatment for metastatic renal-cell carcinoma. Stool microbiome composition is predictive of response to immunotherapy and cytotoxic chemotherapy. We sought to investigate whether antibiotics targeting Bacteroides species affect progression-free survival (PFS) while receiving first-line VEGF-TKI therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using a retrospective cohort of intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic renal-cell carcinoma patients from the University of Utah, we categorized patients receiving first-line VEGF-TKIs by receipt of antibiotics (Bacteroides spp., non-Bacteroides spp., or none) and assessed PFS by Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS: Of 145 patients, 17 received antibiotics with Bacteroides spp. coverage and 32 patients received antibiotics without Bacteroides spp. coverage. When compared to patients not receiving antibiotics, improved PFS was seen with each additional day antibiotics were prescribed with Bacteroides spp. coverage (hazard ratio = 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.83-0.99; P = .04). CONCLUSION: Targeting stool Bacteroides spp. with antibiotics improves PFS in patients receiving first-line VEGF-TKIs in a duration-dependent manner.
