Background: Medication errors frequently occur in surgical patients. Prior studies suggest that prescribing errors are common, especially at the time of hospital admission and due to an incomplete drug history. A strategy for reducing medication discrepancies upon admission is medication reconciliation by hospital pharmacists in preadmission clinic. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the drug histories acquired by an anesthetist and those obtained by a hospital pharmacist in preoperative clinic. If discrepancies were found, those were described and classified. A secondary objective was to assess the lime spent to solve prescribing problems due to incomplete drug histories at the dispensing sector of the hospital pharmacy .Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted in a 300-bed hospital, from February to May 2016. During the pre-intervention period, patients received usual medical care of the anesthetist, who documented the medication history. The intervention consisted of the integration of a hospital pharmacist to the preadmission clinic to obtain the best possible medication history. The primary measure was the average number of discrepancies per patient. Results: After screening of 941 patients, 156 were included: 79 in the standard care arm and 77 in the intervention arm. In the standard care arm, the average number of discrepancies per patient was 9.9, compared with 1.8 in the intervention arm (p<0.01). All patients (100%) of control group had at least 1 medication discrepancy, compared with 53 patients (68.8%) in the intervention group. These were mostly "administration moment" discrepancies. Conclusions: Implementing a consultation by a hospital pharmacist in a preoperative clinic improves the medication reconciliation. These results suggest that drug histories obtained by a pharmacist may reduce potential adverse drug events due to medication discrepancies.

The Colonial Medical Service was the personnel section of the Colonial Service, employing the doctors who tended to the health of both the colonial staff and the local populations of the British Empire. Although the Service represented the pinnacle of an elite government agency, its reach in practice stretched far beyond the state, with the members of the African service collaborating with a range of other non-governmental groups. This collection of essays shows the diversity and active collaborations to be found in the untidy reality of government medical provision.

Drawing in particular on physicians’ casebooks, Medical Practices, 1600-1900 studies the changing nature of ordinary medical practice in early modern Europe. Combining case studies on individual German, Austrian and Swiss practitioners with a comparative analysis across the centuries, it offers the first comprehensive and systematic overview of the major aspects of premodern practitioners daily work and business – from diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and the kinds of patients treated to financial issues, record keeping and their place in contemporary society.

"A harrowing look into the mistreatment of Native American patients at the Canton Asylum for Insane Indians from 1902-1934"-- "Begun as a pork-barrel project by the federal government in the early 1900s, the Canton Asylum for Insane Indians quickly became a dumping ground for inconvenient Indians. The federal institution in Canton, South Dakota, deprived many Native patients of their freedom without genuine cause, often requiring only the signature of a reservation agent. Only nine Native patients in the asylum's history were committed by court order. Without interpreters, mental evaluations, or therapeutic programs, few patients recovered. But who cared about Indians and what went on in South Dakota? After three decades of complacency, both the superintendent and the city of Canton were surprised to discover that someone did care, and that a bitter fight to shut the asylum down was about to begin. In this disturbing tale, Carla Joinson unravels the question of why this institution persisted for so many years. She also investigates the people who allowed Canton Asylum's mismanagement to reach such staggering proportions and asks why its administrators and staff were so indifferent to the misery experienced by patients. Grim Shadows is the harrowing tale of the mistreatment of Native American patients at a notorious insane asylum whose history helps us to understand the broader mistreatment of Native peoples under forced federal assimilation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries"--

From an award-winning project comes an inspiring, collaborative book that makes data artistic, personal, and open to all. Each week for a year, Giorgia and Stefanie sent each other a postcard describing what had happened to them during that week around a particular theme. But they didn't write it, they drew it: a week of smiling, a week of apologies, a week of desires. Presenting their fifty-two cards, along with thoughts and ideas about the data-drawing process, Dear Data hopes to inspire you to draw, slow down and make connections with other people, to see the world through a new lens, where everything and anything can be a creative starting point for play and expression.
