Utilisation of oral health services provided by non-dental health practitioners in developed countries: a review of the literature.

People who have limited access to dental care may present to non-dental health practitioners for dental treatment and advice. This review synthesised the available evidence regarding the use of non-dental health practitioners for oral health problems and the services provided by non-dental health practitioners to manage such presentations. PubMed and CINAHL databases were searched using key search terms to identify all relevant quantitative and qualitative English-language studies published between 1990 and March 2014. Snowballing techniques were then applied whereby the reference lists of retrieved articles were searched for other relevant citations. Grey literature was searched via Google using the same search terms to identify unpublished work and government reports. Of the 43 papers which met the review criteria, 25 papers reported on the use of non-dental health practitioners for oral health problems and 18 on dental care education and training for non-dental health practitioners. Four reports were located from the grey literature on the involvement of non-dental health practitioners in the management of oral health care. The review of literature showed that both children and adults utilise non-dental health practitioners for oral health problems. Despite this, Emergency Department medical staff, medical practitioners and pharmacists generally lacked training and knowledge in the maragement of oral health. Services from non-dental health practitioners mainly focussed on children. The literature on education and training for non-dental health practitioners was limited.

Pharmacist-managed monitoring of adverse reactions to contrast media

A pharmacist-managed program for reporting, treating, and monitoring adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to contrast media is described. The radiology pharmacist at a 1000-bed multihospital medical center worked with the radiology department to revise departmental policies and procedures for reporting ADRs to contrast media. Under the revision, an ADR report must be completed and forwarded to the pharmacy department and radiology pharmacist for review. In the radiology department itself, ADRs must be documented in the computerized radiology information system in two fields, the patient's radiology file and the radiology study report. The radiology pharmacist developed guidelines for preventing and treating ADRs to contrast media. Boxes containing drugs specifically indicated for the treatment of these ADRs were distributed throughout the radiology department. The radiology pharmacist prepares a quality improvement report each quarter. ADRs documented in the patient's radiology file and in the radiology study report are compared with the total number of ADRs reported. The incidence of ADRs is determined and compared with that for previous quarters and with published data. The treatment of each reaction is evaluated for compliance with the guidelines, the need for follow-up, and any unusual problems. Between July 1991 and December 1992, ADR documentation in the radiology file and in the radiology study report increased substantially in several divisions of the radiology department. The rates of ADRs to contrast media remained fairly constant and paralleled published rates. Compliance with the treatment guidelines was excellent. Pharmacist involvement led to improved reporting of adverse reactions to contrast media in a radiology department and to greater awareness of measures for treating and preventing them.

Developing reimbursable clinical pharmacy programs: pharmacokinetic dosing service

The development, operation and evaluation of a pharmacy-conducted pharmacokinetic dosing service is described. Pharmacists recommend individualized drug dosing regimens based on pharmacokinetic models and equations clinically tested for accuracy by the pharmacy department. Pharmacokinetic values are determined with the aid of online computer programs developed by the department. Drug assays are provided by the hospital's laboratory. All of the department's pharmacists were trained to provide the 24-hour service. The pharmacy department's $20 pharmacokinetic dosing service fee is reimbursed by Blue Cross. The pharmacokinetic dosing service is the first nonteaching, nonproduct-oriented pharmaceutical service whose cost-effectiveness has been recognized by a third-party payer.
