Abstract

To identify the hazards and define the theoretical  occupational risks arising from the process of handling hazard drugs in  hospital pharmacy services on the basis of expert consensus. An expert consensus was conducted (nominal group and documentary techniques) using a mixed method of two face-to-face rounds (meeting of participants and approval of proposals) and  three masked rounds (individualized review). The analysis was applied  to the field of hospital pharmacy. The stages of the process were  designed using the standardized graphical Business Process Model and Notation. A specific flowchart was obtained for the management and  traceability of hazardous drugs. All general process phases were  characterized. A management chart included operations addressing the  reception and storage, compounding, conservation, and dispensation of  hazardous drugs in hospital pharmacy services. This chart provides a  description of the chemical hazards and exposure routes. The hazardous drug process should be integrated in a standard management system to improve the safety of patients and  healthcare professionals. Efficiency can maximized and procedural  incidents minimized, thereby ensuring the quality and the safety of  hazardous drugs handling in hospital pharmacy services. Once hazards  are identified, risk assessment should be implemented using a  systematic and preventative methodology to minimize the risk and  severity of any adverse event.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2023.
All research outputs
#8,540,769
of 25,387,668 outputs
Outputs from Farmacia Hospitalaria
#89
of 368 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#155,321
of 383,477 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Farmacia Hospitalaria
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,387,668 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 368 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 383,477 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
