The ACCP PBRN has received IRB approval for its first study through the American Academy of Family Physicians IRB. The feasibility study, titled “Medication Error Detection, Amelioration, and Prevention (MEDAP) in the ACCP PBRN,” will document clinical pharmacist interventions related to medication errors in a wide variety of practice settings. This study is supported by the Frontiers Fund. The specific aims of this project are to:

1. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the MEDAP Study within a national clinical pharmacist PBRN;
2. Describe clinical pharmacist interventions related to medication errors using the Cerner Discovere platform as the data collection instrument and;
3. Compare pharmacist interventions among a variety of practice settings.

The ACCP Research Institute will host two, 1-hour training sessions using PBRNConnect and Discovere (see story immediately below) at the 2010 ACCP Spring Forum. Both events will be held in Room 214 of the Charlotte Convention Center, on Sunday, April 25, at 1:00 p.m. and again on Monday, April 26, at 11:30 a.m.. Space is very limited. Join your fellow ACCP PBRN members as we work toward the rollout of this inaugural project.
