ACCP PBRN

Oncology Drug Shortage Study

The ACCP PBRN is proud to announce the launch of the Oncology Drug Shortage Study for ACCP PBRN members who specialize in hematology/oncology. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of cytarabine shortage on the timing, dose, or chemotherapy drug regimen selection for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), particularly minority patients with AML, relative to a non-shortage period.

We are currently seeking up to 15 ACCP PBRN members, who practice within the Hematology/Oncology specialty area, to participate in this retrospective data collection research study using the REDCap Web-based electronic data capture tool. To be eligible to participate in PBRN projects, members must complete online portfolios within PBRNConnect. If you have not completed your portfolio within PBRNConnect, you may do so at: http://www.accpri.org/signin/index.aspx. The study protocol, central IRB approval letter, pharmacist agreement form, data collection tools, and training materials are loaded under step 4 within PBRNConnect.

This study is funded by the ACCP Research Institute. There are limited funds available for local IRB fees, if required. You may receive a compensation of up to $100 for your participation in this study. Please contact us at pbrn@accp.com for more information.

MEDAP Study

The Medication Error Detection, Amelioration, and Prevention (MEDAP) Study was launched on August 5, 2010, and was closed on December 31, 2010. This sentinel feasibility project for the ACCP PBRN was funded by the Frontiers Fund. The MEDAP Study was successful in documenting more than 700 pharmacist interventions related to medication safety. PBRNConnect was effective as a data repository, source of study-related documentation and member training, and handler of data, portfolios, and documents from more than 300 member pharmacists. The MEDAP Study poster was presented at the ACCP Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA, on October 18, 2011. (Click here to view the MEDAP Study poster.) The manuscript is under development.
