Objectives
To outline the key elements of the national consensus process in
developing clinical pharmacy key performance indicators (cpKPI)
for hospital pharmacists
including consensus definition, selection criteria for cpKPI, critical topic/
activity foci and pre-Delphi candidate cpKPI)
To report the final results of the recent national Delphi consensus
phase to establish a final suite of cpKPI
To summarize the next phases and communication plans in the
national cpKPI process :
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
exploring interprofessional/ external stakeholder feedback,
national information capture/ measurement systems,
cpKPI knowledge translation kit
practical definition and measurement questions
pan-Canadian communication/ Manuscript publications / posters
2
Overall Goal of the National cpKPI Collaborative /
National Consensus Process
To develop a core set of national clinical
pharmacy KPI for hospital pharmacists via a
systematic national evidence-informed
consensus process

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
What is it?
“Quantifiable measures that reflect the
critical success factors of an organization”
Quantitative measures of quality
1
Why is it important?
Elevate professional accountability &
transparency
Serve to improve quality of care
1. Doucette D, Millen B. Should Key Performance Indicators for Clinical Pharmacy Services Be Mandatory,

Can J Hosp Pharm 2011; 64(1):55-57.
Rationale for clinical pharmacy KPI (cpKPI)
GAP: currently NO established national or
international consensus on what constitutes a
KPI for clinical pharmacy services
Rationale: To advance practice toward desired
evidence-informed patient outcomes
cpKPI will serve to better define minimum
standards and permit benchmark comparisons
within and between organizations

National cpKPI Collaborative
Definition of cpKPI
Five pillars/ characteristics of cpKPI:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Reflect a desired quality practice and
A metric with a link to direct patient care and
Link to evidence of impact on meaningful patient
outcomes and
A pharmacy/ pharmacist sensitive metric
Feasible to measure
• Clinical metric would have to fulfill all 5 pillars to
qualify as a candidate cpKPI
Hierarchy of Study Outcomes (AHRQ)
Level 1: Clinical and QoL outcomes
• Morbidity, mortality, adverse events
Level 2 : Surrogate outcomes
• I.e. blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol
Level 3: Measureable variables with an indirect or
unestablished connection to target outcome
• I.e. medication disease state knowledge
Level 4: Indirect variables
• I.e. patient satisfaction, “potential adverse events”
Should Align with Local Consensus or Guidelines for
Prioritization of Hospital Pharmacist Activities
6 Domains
1. Pharmaceutical care patient care process
2. Operational patient care supporting activities
3. Drug information
4. Teaching/Education/Learning
5. Research
6. Service (clinical and pharmacy committees)

11
Slavik -11- Consensus Criteria – Ideal Attributes
Based on high quality literature evidence
(e.g. Observational data vs. RCT vs. systematic review)
Relevant impact on clinically important outcomes
(e.g. Surrogate versus clinical endpoints, effect size of intervention)
Best-suited to pharmacist’s role
(e.g. Identifies pharmacist-specific clinical role vs. GP vs. RN)
Attributable to direct patient care
(e.g. Marker of clinical intervention, not distribution)
Specific to pharmaceutical care process
(e.g. Related to generally-accepted PC processes)
Aligned with professional goals, objectives, practices
(e.g. Accreditation Canada ROPs, standards, CSHP Vision 2015, etc.)
12
Slavik -11- Consensus Criteria – Ideal Attributes
Accepted disease-based quality indicator
(e.g. ACEI or BB for HF, VTE prophylaxis in hospitalized patients)
Feasible to measure
(e.g. Reliable measurement systems can/could be put in place)
Efficient to measure
(E.g. Acceptable time commitment, useable)
Valuable quality measure
(E.g. Prevalent, impactful problem with practical, proven interventions)
Generalizability
(E.g. Versatile enough to be applied in large, academic and small community
sites)

3. Randomized Controlled Trials
PRACTICE QUESTION
Does pharmacist-led comprehensive pharmaceutical
care reduce morbidity (& other meaningful patient
outcomes) for elderly hospitalized patients?
18
A Comprehensive Pharmacist Intervention to
Reduce Morbidity in Patients 80 years or Older
Gillespie U et al. Arch Intern Med 2009; 169(9):894-900.
Objectives:
assess the effectiveness of interventions performed by ward-based
pharmacists on morbidity and overall use of (secondary) hospital care
Design:
prospective, single centre, unblinded, randomized control trial
patient- unit of randomization, central centre
Setting: 2 acute internal medicine wards (university teaching
hospital) in Uppsala, Sweden
Duration: Oct 2005-June 2006
Patients:
Patients 80 years or older admitted to 2 acute care internal medicine
wards
Written informed consent
Sample size calculation : 400 patients
A Comprehensive Pharmacist Intervention to
Reduce Morbidity in Patients 80 years or Older
Gillespie U et al. Arch Intern Med 2009; 169(9):894-900.
Patients randomized to:
intervention (comprehensive care by hospital pharmacist)
• Ward based clinical pharmacists
1. comprehensive patient interview, BPMH, admission medication
reconciliation,
2. pharmaceutical care drug review (Cipolle method) to identify and
resolve DTPs, physician interventions on drug selection,
dosages, monitoring….
1. Addressed: indication, effectiveness, safety and adherence
2. DTPs discussed on ward rounds
3. Patients received education and discharge counselling/
reconciliation
4. pharmacist discharge letter communicated to primary care physicians by
pharmacists
5. Follow up telephone call 2 months after discharge
control: standard care without pharmacist involvement by
physicians and nurses
Results: Major Outcomes
Gillespie U et al. Arch Intern Med 2009; 169(9):894-900.
Patients Evaluated (n=368, 182 intervention / 186 control)
over a 12 month period
Post-Discharge Hospital Visits (ED + readmission)
↓ 16% intervention group
(quotient 1.88 vs. 2.24, 95% CI 0.72-0.99)
Emergency Department Visits:
↓ 47% intervention group
(quotient 0.35 vs. 0.66, 95% CI 0.37-0.75)
Drug Related Readmissions:
↓ 80% intervention group
(quotient 0.06 vs. 0.32, 95% CI 0.10-0.41)
Aside: Balancing Measures- Readmissions Alone and Mortality :
- No significant difference

Grape Analogy: BUNDLES AND
CRITICAL ELEMENTS
Modified Delphi Process Methodology
A Delphi technique is a structured process commonly used
to develop consensus healthcare quality indicators
It was developed to minimize influence from more vocal
group members, and utilizes surveys or questionnaires
instead of discussion.
frequently used with expert panels to generate consensus on
healthcare issues
To arrive at consensus, a modified Delphi technique will be
used.
This ‘modified” technique is an iterative process that builds
consensus using three rounds of anonymous panelist ratings with a
live/tcon meeting

•
75% of panelists assign a rating of 7-9 on the 9 point Likert scale
MAGIC NUMBER = 20
36
Round 1 Qualitative Panelist Discussion Themes
•
Qualitative discussion themes while comparing cpKPI
included:
1. Varying degrees of sensitivity to pharmacists’
contribution
2. Varying degrees of feasibility of measurement
3. Varying degrees of generalizability across practice
areas (i.e.. psychiatry, surgery) as well as across
different types of hospitals (i.e. urban versus rural)
4. Inter-relationships between: medication
reconciliation cpKPIs; discharge/ inpatient
counselling cpKPIs
37
Round 1 – 3 New cpKPI Submitted by Panelists
1.
cpKPI #27: combined pharmacist admission Med Rec + BPMH
