Medication errors and omissions can potentially cause harm, prolong a hospital stay, lead to co-morbidities and even death. Pharmacy interventions (PI) ensure that these errors are identified and addressed, leading to improved patient safety and prescriber practice. Particularly in community hospitals, many only having general practitioners and not specialist doctors in their medical teams, PIs assume a strategic role. The PIs recorded throughout 8 months (between November 2021 and June 2022) in the community hospital wards in Powys, Wales, UK, using xPIRT (Pharmacy Intervention Recording Tool), a new pharmacy intervention record toolkit, were subjected to a retrospective analysis. The data were organised by location, drug, severity, acceptance, cost avoidance and intervention type. Significant prescribing errors were identified, which can potentially be different from those recorded in acute settings. Our results also informed on the need for integrated electronic prescribing systems paired with a PI recording tool to address effectively prescribing inaccuracies. Overall, this study was able to identify pharmacy teams as key to improve patient safety and care while contributing to significant cost-savings, through the recording of PI using xPIRT.
