Data-driven medication safety in the Intensive Care – ADAPTIC project

This implementation project aims to improve medication safety for patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We start by addressing two key risk areas: drug–drug interactions and medication-related acute kidney injury. If our data-driven approach proves successful, the developed tools will be expanded to other relevant risk areas.

The following key stakeholders are involved: 

Stichting Nationale Intensive Care Evaluatie, NICE: Prof. dr. Nicolette de Keizer & Prof. dr. Dave Dongelmans

NVIC: Iwan Meynaar

KNMP: Dr. Nicole Hunfeld

NVZA SIG Intensive Care: Dr. Nicole Hunfeld and Dr. Liesbeth Bosma (also Metavison expert)

NVZA ICT: Dr. Laura Nijstad (HiX expert), Harmen Huls (EPIC expert)

KNMP-GIC: Marianne le Comte

Z-Index – G-Standaard: Leonora van Dorp-Grandia

The National Working Group for ICU drug-drug interactions

The SIMPLIFY list first created in 2017 as part of the SIMPLIFY study, will be updated and maintained by a national expert team consisting of four intensive care physicians with clinical pharmacology expertise and nine hospital pharmacists with intensive care expertise.

Members of the working group are (from left to right on the picture): Wouter Bult (hospital pharmacist at UMCG), Maaike Sikema (intensivist at UMCU), Esther Uijtendaal (hospital pharmacist at UMCU), Rick Lammers (hospital pharmacist at ZGV), Nicole Hunfeld (hospital pharmacist at Erasmus MC), Carina Bethlehem (intensivist at Frisium MC), Wai-Ping Manubulu (hospital pharmacist at Martini), Dylan de Lange (intensivist at UMCU), Liesbeth Bosma (hospital pharmacists at Haga), Wytze Vermijden (intensivist at Medisch Spectrum Twente), Irma Rigter (hospital pharmacist at Amsterdam UMC), Joost Masselink (hospital pharmacist at Medisch Spectrum Twente, not in the picture), Tessa Jaspers (hospital pharmacist at Elisabeth TweeSteden Ziekenhuis).
