2 Responsible Prescribing should be based on: Evidence- Based Efficacy (Grade A) Safety (primum non nocere) Value (cost effec>veness) clinicians will need to accept that they are responsible for the stewardship of resources and not just their use Sir Muir Gray BMJ Oct

3 Value Framework Health Outcomes Value = Health Outcomes Cost of delivering Outcomes Cost Porter ME; Lee TH NEJM 2010;363: ;

4 RIGHT CARE " RIGHT CARE " Do the right thing " Do the right thing right " Doing the right thing right first -me should deliver quality and value

5 ADDING VALUE by RIGHT CARE High Value High Value High Value Low Value Low Value Added value from doing things right (quality improvement) Added value from doing the right things (making the right decisions)

23 Are we doing it right?

24 Doing the Right Things Right Inhaler Technique In some studies, up to 90% of pa-ents may not be able to use an MDI effec-vely 91% of healthcare professionals who teach use of an MDI cannot demonstrate it correctly* Even with effec-ve technique, lung deposi-on from an MDI is at best 12% (excluding newer fine par-cle inhalers)** Large volume spacer may be easier to use and may increase deposi-on to over 20%** If used incorrectly a lot of the drug from MDI is wasted *Thorax 2010;65:A117 ** Newman S. Chest 1985; 88: 152S-160S

27 What can we do?

28 Responsible Respiratory Prescribing Key Messages 1. Respiratory medica>ons are expensive Doing the Right Things: 2. When prescribing any new respiratory inhaler, ensure that the pa-ent has undergone NICE- recommended support to stop smoking 3. Pulmonary rehabilita-on is a cost effec-ve alterna-ve to stepping up to triple therapy and should be the preferred op-on if available and the pa-ent is suitable. Doing the Right Things Right: 4. When prescribing any inhaled medica-on, ensure that the pa-ent has undergone pa-ent centred educa-on about the disease and inhaler technique training by a competent trainer 5. When prescribing an MDI (except salbutamol), ensure that a spacer is also prescribed and will be used 6. When prescribing high dose inhaled cor-costeroids (>1000ug BDP equivalent?), ensure that the pa-ent is issued with an inhaled steroid safety card

29 Minimise Risk : Patient Safety Warn about poten>al for adrenal suppression on high doses of ICS Warn about not stopping high dose ICS suddenly

30 Minimise Risk : Minimise waste : Maximise Value Warn about high dose ICS side effects: Pneumonia Diabetes Bone Loss Adrenal Suppression In COPD moderate dose ICS (800µg BDP equivalent) same clinical efficacy as very high dose ICS (2000µg BDP equivalent). In asthma lible evidence for efficacy of ICS above 800µg/day (BTS/SIGN Grade D evidence) Checking inhaler technique, using ICS through a spacer or changing inhaler device may be more effec>ve than increasing the dose or stepping up treatment If dose of ICS has been stepped up in the treatment of asthma and pa>ent is well controlled consider stepping down acer 3 months.

31 Minimise Risk : Increase awareness Traffic light reference card BDP dose equivalence Which inhalers and at what dose may deliver >1000µg BDP equivalent/day Also gives some idea of cost for BDP equivalent doses of different brands of inhaler

32 Inhaled Corticosteroid Safety Card Increase awareness amongst prescribers of: Waste Risk Value Make prescribers aware of alternatives before high dose ICS May change prescribing behaviour as uncomfortable discussion with patient about risk vs benefit

33 It can be done!?
