Science Practice Policy DEANS

Mission To contribute to the health of Nova Scotians by encouraging appropriate medication use. Obtains and analyses information. Provides relevant information to Nova Scotian decision- makers, practitioners and consumers. Evaluates the impact of the information and the methods of dissemination on policy making, practitioner behaviour and consumer outcomes.

History Began in 1998 Commitment by Nova Scotia Department of Health to fund a new initiative to complement existing drug management systems Pilot different ways to encourage appropriate prescribing Two years of behind the scenes work by many groups (including the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Pharmaceutical Society and the College of Pharmacy) to establish the structural and funding framework to launch the program

Early projects Chlorpropamide Initiative: Over 1,500 seniors in NS were taking chlorpropamide, despite evidence that it should not be used in this population. Initiative included target date for delisting chlorpropamide, education targeting chlorpropamide prescribers, general educational initiatives for pharmacists and diabetes educators in the 33 Diabetes Care Centres across NS Asthma initiative: Respiratory medications can be delivered as effectively, more portably and at less cost than via the use of wet nebulization solutions. Target date to restrict access to wet nebulization solutions Multi-faceted educational interventions targeted at hospital staff, patients, pharmacists, physicians and respiratory technologists

Resources Funding through Department of Health and Wellness Dedicated staff coordinator Volunteer, with dedicated time commitment Funding supports Drug Evaluation Unit Nova Scotia Health Authority Continuing Pharmacy Education Continuing Medical Education Academic detailing service Academic Family medicine group Project support
