The idea coming to life.....
Some patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) or wards may have missed doses of their medication due to nursing or medical staff being unaware that patient was taking clozapine or the supply not coming with the patient.
This study aimed to discover why patients were admitted, whether they were concordant with their medication whilst an inpatient, if staff were aware of how critical it was to administer clozapine as prescribed and if any complications due to clozapine arose on admission.
Further objectives were to ensure clozapine plasma concentrations were monitored throughout admission.
All in all the aim was to ensure safety and compliance whilst admitted to the acute hospital setting.
