Pharmacy programs must assess student readiness for advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs). This study evaluated: (1) if a relationship exists between student performance on a classroom-based patient case activity (Rx Review) and (2) performance on direct patient care and perceptions of the transferability of Rx Reviews to the APPE setting.Rx Reviews are timed, independent, prospective reviews of a patient's medical record intended to simulate pre-rounding activities common in acute and ambulatory care settings. Students complete 12 Rx Reviews across a skills laboratory course sequence. Rx Review scores were compared to performance on acute care and ambulatory care APPEs for students in the Class of 2019 using descriptive statistics for student scores and bivariate logistic regression for the association between Rx Review scores and performance outcomes on patient care APPEs. Student perceptions of the Rx Reviews were assessed through a survey. Descriptive statistics and qualitative responses were used to analyze responses to the multiple-choice survey questions and open-ended question, respectively.One hundred twenty-two students participated in the study. A relationship was found between students' Rx Review scores and performance in certain direct patient care APPEs, with students performing in the bottom 50% on Rx Reviews being more likely to perform poorly on those APPEs. Over 93% of students identified Rx Reviews as at least somewhat helpful in preparing them for APPEs.This study indicated that a classroom-based patient case activity could be used as a formative measure of APPE readiness. |
