The Pharmacy Team developed a protocol titled FASTHUG-MAIDENS. This mnemonic assists the pharmacist in sorting through the multiple factors which may affect patient status in critical care. The protocol provides a comprehensive and systematic process for identifying drug-related problems in the critical care population. This tool has been developed and evaluated within this Health Authority and has recently been presented at national meetings. Publication is upcoming.
