Getting the best outcomes from medication
PAMAN Monitors check that patients are taking their medication at the correct time, with the correct dose, at the correct location on the body.
The Monitors record the administration of the medicine – time, day, date and, for injections, patches, or creams, location on the body. They also record patient feedback.
The Monitors will offer advise when asked or when appropriate to open a dialogue. All advice ‘sessions’ content and duration are recorded.
The Monitors will either respond to the patient initiating discussion on medication side-effects, or will, on the request of a clinician, ask the patient for feedback on any side-effects of the medication.
Troubleshooting medication issues as they arise is key to ensuring the service level is maintained at the highest possible level.
The measurement of key performance activity is important in being able to quantify service outcomes.
Being able to review and comment on patient progress is based on observational recording of activity.
The report prepared for each patient provides evidence of the number of parameters that are monitored to ensure successful patient outcomes.
We ensure the patient can self-administer if appropriate. We teach people to use injections and inhalers effectively and monitor them to make sure they continue to self-administer properly.
We monitor patients using insulin and taking clozapine, providing assurance on the safe use of high-risk drugs.
Clinicians can be confident the patient is taking the drug as prescribed, therefore if they aren’t improving, it’s not down to adherence.
We have demonstrated the benefit of PAMAN support in a cohort of frequent flyers. We:
Our services reduces the demand on NHS services, freeing up general practice capacity, and community nurses who don’t have to visit a patient multiple times a day.
Provides feedback and understanding of issues to the clinicians.
Patients who aren’t in our area (NW England) receive their equipment by post. We call the patient to make sure they can set it up, and then we talk them through our processes. Some patients take to it straight away and others need additional support.
We work to SOPs and our calls to patients are recorded. We constantly review the performance of our team to make sure they are clinically competent, but also that they are able to engage with the patients.
When a patient is taken on, we need to know what other medication they are taking so we can make sure they’re taking all the right medicines, and check for interactions or potential side effects.
Our core service involves regular video contact with patients, but how we use that contact varies according to the needs of our clients. We work with you to agree details, required outcomes, and KPIs. Most services provide daily and ongoing contact with patients, others are fixed-term support or on-line training.
Our services can be delivered at the scale you need and put in place quickly.
“The calls are really helping, she’s taking her meds and insulin on calls means she has not missed a dose or taken them twice.. blood sugars better than they were before she started with PAMAN and she feels better, plus enjoys a little chat”
“I was a bit sporadic with my meds, either not enough or too much, and a couple of times in A&E when I’d taken too many. I’d highly recommend the service. It’s enabled me to take my medication at the right time, both morning and night. I feel so much better, I’ve really felt the benefit.”
