he AHRQ and EPC identified and rated other patient safety practices that
appear promising but require further research.  The following practices
which rated most highly and could relate to pharmacists include: 41

      * Improved perioperative glucose control to decrease perioperative
        infections.
        
      * Computerized physician order entry with computerized decision
        support systems to decrease medication errors and adverse events
        primarily due to the drug ordering process.
        
      * Limitations placed on antibiotic use to prevent hospital
        acquired infections due to antibiotic-resistant organisms.
        
      * Appropriate use of antibiotic prophylaxis in surgical patients
        to prevent perioperative infections.
        
      * Appropriate use of prophylaxis to prevent venous thromboembolism
        in patients at risk.
        
      * Appropriate provision of nutrition, with a particular emphasis
        on early enteral nutrition in critically ill and post-surgical
        patients.
        
      * Use of analgesics in the patient with an acutely painful abdomen
        without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
        
      * Improved handwashing compliance (via education/behavior change;
        sink technology and placement; or the use of antimicrobial
        washing substances).
