Chronic Medication Service
Objectives
• To describe the background and policy context for the introduction of the Chronic Medication Service
• To outline the general elements of the Chronic Medication Service
• To look at each of the three stages of the Chronic Medication Service
• To share the plans being considered for implementation of the service
Background & Policy
The patient journey
• Prescribing – Prescribing error rate 7.5%
• Dispensing – Dispensing error rate 3.3% of all items
• Compliance / concordance – non-adherence 30-50%– hospital admission due to ADR 2.7% - 6.5%
Building on existing evidence
• Repeat dispensing pilots– Paper based trials– Reduce wastage– Improve access
• Pharmaceutical Care Model Schemes– Care of the elderly– Chronic disease areas– Medication review
General Description of the Chronic Medication Service
Purpose
• To ensure patients obtain optimal therapeutic benefit from their medicines and minimise any predictable undesirable effects.
Chronic Medication Service Chronic Medication Service (CMS)(CMS)
Description
• A system of personalised pharmaceutical care to patients with long term medical conditions.
PurposePurpose
• Move focus from dispensing to clinical practice and quality
• Patient centred, medicines focused• Building on what people already do• Based on a systematic approach • Document practice• Improve continuity of care

Stage 3
Stage 1: Registration
• Voluntary opt-in• Patients registers with pharmacy of their choice • Register with one pharmacy • Via the Patient Registration System (PRS) using CHI• Underpinned by explicit patient consent• Eligibility:
– Patient must be registered with a Scottish GP practice– Patient must have a long term condition/s– Not resident in a Care Home
• GP practice receives an electronic registration notification message
Stage 1: Priority Profiling
• Completed within three months of registration• Based on
– Medication profile• Questionnaire on medicines and consequences• Yes, No, Not Recorded & free text field
– Patient profile• General health• Medical conditions• Allergies & sensitivities• Patient factors
• Supported by a web based care planning tool• Assign an overall priority rating:
– low, medium or high priority
Stage2: Pharmaceutical Care Planning
• The patient and pharmacist– discuss and assess the patient’s condition/s,
medicine/s and general health – identify any issues / problems– establish desired outcomes– agree any actions to address them
• The pharmacist– documents the issues, desired outcomes and actions
using the care plan system– Monitors, reviews and updates the care package
• Supported by a web based care planning tool
Web-based care Planning Tool
Pharmacy Care Record
• Web based– a secure system (holds patient data)– fully robust (data recovery, data replication to a
backup site) – username and password protected
• Hosts the pharmaceutical care plan– priority profiling– pharmaceutical care plan
• Build in additional applications e.g. PHS?
PCR Search Screen
Finding a patient
Search from:• PCR
– Enter patient details– Click search– If ‘not found’ you can
generate a PCR record by uploading data from your PMR
• PMR– Link up from patient record
on PMR
Information uploaded from PMR:
• Patient demographics– Name– Address– Postcode– Date of birth– CHI– Gender– Telephone number
• Dispensing history

Stage 3: Serial prescribing & dispensing• The patient’s GP
– Eligibility based on age, medical and maternity exemptions – decides on their suitability for a 24 or 48 week serial prescription– selects dispensing intervals
• The pharmacist – dispenses the prescription according to defined intervals – engages with the patient over the time period according to the
disease specific protocols
• Feedback– dispensing information with each dispensing episode– end of care treatment summary information
• dispensing information and any specific relevant care information• can include a request for new serial prescription
Benefits
• Improved clinical outcomes
• Improved concordance
• Reduced wastage
• Easier patient journey
• Promotion of self care
• Better utilisation of the workforce
• Encourage team working

Implementation
CMS Dates
• Commence roll out from 1 April 2010 (final date still to be agreed)
• Operationalise working processes from April – September 2010
• CMS ‘live’ from September 2010
Operationalisation Phase• ‘Bedding in’ stage• Phased from April to September• CPs familiarise themselves with eCMS software
– Registration– Care planning– Serial dispensing– Reporting
• GPs familiarise themselves with eCMS software– Serial prescribing– Managing end-of-care treatment summaries
Current position
• All GP and Pharmacy IT system suppliers on course for April delivery
• NSS PSD system changes in place– Patient Registration Service (PRS)– ePay
• ePharmacy infrastructure in place– ePharmacy Message Store (ePMS)– Pharmacy Care Record (PCR)
• Early Adopter phase underway in NHS Fife
National Priorities for Next 2 Months
• GP and Practice Manager NES Packs• PCR User Manual• PCR ‘test’ patients for training on PCR• PCR user name and password processes• Identifying a process to issue user names and
passwords• Finalising and distributing CMS patient leaflet• CMS disease specific protocols
Supporting Implementation Locally
• Local awareness sessions• Identifying community pharmacists who
require PCR user names & passwords• Issuing user names & passwords • Agreeing local working processes• Endorsing NES sponsored GP & CP
workshops (May & June 2010)• Supporting practitioners during the
implementation phase
Milestones
• Agree final service specification – During March 2010
• Finalise national implementation plan– During March 2010
• Agree CMS start date – During March 2010
• Delivering CMS!– From April 2010
