Cooperation Unit Clinical Pharmacy (KPhz)
The Cooperation Unit Clinical Pharmacy is run by the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacoepidemiology together with the University Hospital Pharmacy and the Institute of Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology (IPMB) at Heidelberg University.
It was founded in 2005 on the initiative of Prof. Dr. Walter E. Haefeli (Medical Director of the Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacoepidemiology) and Dr. Torsten Hoppe-Tichy (Head Pharmacist of the Hospital Pharmacy).
At Heidelberg University Hospital, the Cooperation Unit is concerned with the optimization and digitalization of the in-house medication process, including admission and discharge.
In the primary care sector, the Cooperation Unit develops, implements, and evaluates medication safety projects, in particular focusing on topics like strengthening interprofessional cooperation and fostering patient competencies.
Our vision
We want to make a measurable and sustainable contribution to improving drug therapy safety (AMTS) in routine care, so that drugs are prescribed, directed and used safely and correctly in everyday life and the associated medication process is as low-risk as possible.
Our Mission
Based on process and prescription analyses, we develop, implement and evaluate practical and technology-oriented measures to improve medication safety. We take great care to integrate all parties involved in the medication process, both in the outpatient or inpatient care sector or at the interfaces of care. A special focus is the support of the cooperation between health care professions and the strengthening of patient's health competencies.
AREAS OF INTEREST
Our research and work focuses on the development, implementation and evaluation of measures to improve drug therapy safety in routine outpatient and inpatient care as well as at care interfaces:
