Short Communication

The value of critical care pharmacists has been well documented. Various studies have shown that critical care pharmacists reduce medication errors, improve patient outcomes, reduce costs and waste, and decrease mortality rates among patients with thromboembolic diseases or infections [1,2]. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes prolonged illness, greater risk of infection spread, increased morbidity, and higher mortality rates, which result in increased expenses to the government, healthcare services, and individuals. It is estimated that around 700,000 people die annually from drug-resistant infections, with experts predicting an alarming possible increase to 10 million deaths each year by 2050 and major future challenges to the way we practice medicine and surgery. Resistance has been associated with increasing mortality, treatment failure and healthcare costs [3,4]. This alarming rate exceeds the annual number of deaths caused by cancer (8.2 million) and is almost ten times that of motor vehicle accidents (1.2 million) [5]. In the United States, in addition to significant mortality, antimicrobial resistance adds $20 billion in excess direct health care costs and up to $35 billion in annual societal costs as a result of lost productivity [6]. Antibiotic stewardship was established to combat this trend and was recognized in 1996 to draw attention to the rising incidents in mortality and morbidity associated with inappropriate use of antibiotics [7]. Antibiotic stewardship is a core part of critical care, and many times, the physician will rely on the pharmacist’s recommendations and expertise. Antibiotic Stewardship Recommendations include constituting a team, close coordination between teams, audit, formulary restriction, deescalation, optimizing dosing, active use of information technology among other measure [8].

The Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines on antimicrobial stewardship recommend that the core multidisciplinary stewardship team include an infectious diseases (ID) physician and a clinical pharmacist with ID training [9]. Antibiotic prescribing in outpatient settings exceeds that of inpatient prescribing, with more than 150 million antibiotic prescriptions annually; of these prescriptions, more than 30% are either unnecessary or inappropriately prescribed [10-12]. Orally administered antimicrobials accounted for approximately 90% of total consumption: oral third generation cephalosporins, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones accounted for approximately 77% of oral consumption. Therefore, pharmacists must extend their support for the appropriate use of antimicrobials prescribed by attending physicians to not only hospitalized patients but also outpatients [13]. As the regulations for antibiotic stewardship in outpatient settings continue to evolve and optimal stewardship strategies are defined, pharmacists must be leaders in the implementation of these programs [14]. Stewardship programs can help, reduce inappropriate prescription and broad-spectrum use of antimicrobials, improve, clinical outcomes for the population as a whole, slow down the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and conserve healthcare resources [3]. The WHO Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance recommends countries work together to improve awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance, including through social media.

The 2018 World Antibiotic Awareness Week campaign used Twitter to tailor media messages about the Global Action Plan [15]. Social media have become important information channels but may not reach people with low knowledge and/or low interest in the subject. Within the EU, countries with low use of antibiotics, such as Sweden and The Netherlands, show a higher population knowledge level [16]. The use of community antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) is rising. ASPs involving pharmacists are effective in decreasing antibiotic prescribing and increasing guidelineadherent antibiotic prescribing by GPs [17]. Evidence in China and Netherlands showed that antibiotic stewardship program was associated with more less 80% and more than 25% decrease in cost of antibiotic prophylaxis per procedure respectively [18]. The issue of antimicrobial resistance is worse in low and middleincome countries (LMIC), as the incidence of infectious diseases is high compared to high-income countries. In low and middleincome countries, the mortality rates due to antimicrobialresistant bacteria are under-reported, however, available data in India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Congo indicate that a huge number of neonatal deaths resulted from drug-resistant sepsis [19]. Annually, more than 50,000 newborns are estimated to die from sepsis due to pathogens resistant to first-line antibiotics [20]. In European countries, antimicrobial resistance is also on the rise and considered to be responsible for about 25,000 deaths annually [21]. Pharmacists are core AMS team members where there is an ongoing need to align continuing education for health professionals with realities of practice. However, antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is not comprehensively and fully taught in medical or pharmacy curricula and little is known about the relevance of pharmacist training to meet AMS needs [22]. Critically, there is a need for establishing sustainable funding for AMS teams working beyond hospital settings that is not solely derived from cost savings through reduced drug expenditure.

Instead, funding for developing and supporting AMS teams should be considered within the patient safety and healthcarequality-related spending [23]. More recently, the introduction of national stewardship guidelines, and an increased focus on stewardship as part of the UK five-year antimicrobial resistance strategy, have accelerated and embedded developments. Antimicrobial pharmacists have been instrumental in effecting changes at an organizational and national level [24]. A pharmacist dispensing antimicrobials without a prescription is 83-100% of the time unaware of a patient’s allergies status [19]. Inaccurate allergy labelling results in inappropriate antimicrobial management of the patient, which may affect clinical outcome, increase the risk of adverse events and increase costs. Inappropriate use of alternative antibiotics has implications for antimicrobial stewardship programs and microbial resistance. 2019 recommended that a pharmacistled allergy management service is a safe option to promote antimicrobial stewardship and appropriate allergy labelling [25]. 2018 suggested broader adoption for the role of pharmacists in the provision of penicillin skin testing. This would help expand the service and maximize the potential benefits of penicillin skin testing [26]. Pharmacists may be tasked to lead ASP development and implementation with little or no support from an infectious diseases (ID) physician and other hospital personnel whose involvement on ASP teams is recommended (e.g., clinical microbiologists, infection control specialists, hospital epidemiologists) [27]. Pharmacists and other health care professionals should collaborate within multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) to reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance, thereby reducing the economic burden, improving patients’ quality of life, and reducing hospitalization due to infections [19]. In a UK study, almost 60% of pharmacist’s contributions are made during the MDT round [28]. Research has shown that pharmacists play an important role in the (Emergency Department) ED, but there is a need for data supporting this in specific patient outcomes as the majority of the literature addresses adverse drug event prevention and cost-containment [29]. Critical care pharmacists are recognized in the guidelines from the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) as essential team members for the delivery of care for critically ill patients. In fact, the return on investment of an ICU pharmacist’s salary approached in multiple studies of critically ill patients with infection [30]. Including critical care pharmacists in the multidisciplinary ICU team improved patient outcomes including mortality, ICU length of stay in mixed ICUs, and preventable/nonpreventable adverse drug events [31].

Although factors, such as a lack of financial resources, may be beyond the control of the pharmacy profession, other factors, such as increased documentation in patient records and increased scholarly work demonstrating pharmacists’ contributions, can and should be addressed more consistently by all critical care pharmacists [32]. The critical care pharmacist ensures the discontinuation of these medications in patients who no longer have an indication. Unfortunately, these medications are sometimes started by the ward team and continued on discharge. Additionally, home maintenance medications are often not resumed on hospital admission and/or subsequent discharge, increasing the risk of death, emergency department visit, or hospitalization. A critical care pharmacist integrated into the ICU-Recovery Center (ICU-RC) may take attempt to identify and treat the types of medication errors found in a population of high-risk ICU [33]. In addition, pharmacists who are often the first point of care, dispense antibiotics without a physician prescription, offer alternative antibiotics even when patients present with a prescription. Within the hospitals lack of monitoring of antibiotic use is one of the major factors driving the spread of resistance [34]. The implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs in primary health care is suboptimal. This negatively affects the global efforts to control antimicrobial resistance. There is a need to institutionalize national guidelines for AMS in primary health care [35]. Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have found that shorter courses of antibiotic therapy result in similar cure rates as traditional courses for many types of infections, including UTIs, SSTIs, and pneumonia. Unfortunately, familiarity with short-course therapy as a stewardship tool is limited. A recent study found that only one-third of infectious diseases practitioners from 58 countries recommended short-course therapies [36]. Consequently, some countries have recommended shortening the duration of antibiotic treatment of communityacquired pneumonia (CAP). No significant differences in adverse events were reported. However, none of the trials reported on the impact on the development of resistant bacteria [37]. As with the cost of climate change, estimates of total AMR costs are fraught with uncertainty and may be far too low. This cost depends on various factors: which drug and pathogen are involved, the mechanism of antibiotic resistance, the prevalence of that pathogen, the types of infections it causes and their level of transmissibility, the health burden of those infections, and whether alternative treatments are available [38]. AMS can help pharmacists improve the quality of patient care and improve patient safety through increased infection cure rates, reduced treatment failures, and increased frequency of correct prescribing for therapy and prophylaxis. The cost of employing a pharmacist at the recommended minimum staffing level is approximately £20 per patient per day. Several studies find that the role reduces overall expenditure through more efficient use of medicines and the avoidance of direct costs of iatrogenic harm, with additional savings made from avoiding payouts arising from damages claims [19,27].

Windows Server vNext Preview Build 18917 released

Windows Server vNext Preview Build 18917 released. There also released Windows Admin Center Preview 1906. What’s New: Thanks for staying up-to-date on the Windows Admin Center journey! As our first preview release following the last generally available release in April, Windows Admin Center preview 1906 includes several new preview features: Updates tool: you can now select individual Windows updates to install. Windows Admin Center connectivity settings: We’ve heard from users that are in completely disconnected environments that they would prefer to have a setting in Windows Admin Center where they can specify they are offline, so there will be no notifications about Azure hybrid functionality, extensions updates, or other actions that require public internet access. To give this a try, enter msft.sme.shell.connectivity as an experiment key in Settings-> Development -> Advanced, then visit the new Connectivity settings item. You can select Gateway to restrict online access, or Azure and Gateway if you want to access Azure features only, but nothing else on the public internet. In a future release, this menu item will also provide you with a complete list of URLs so that you can configure your firewall to block all traffic by default and explicitly allow only specific traffic to known services. Virtual machines tool: Import/Export VM – We’ve added Import/Export buttons to the Virtual Machines tool for importing VMs from and exporting VMs to a local volume or remote file share. When importing VMs, you have the option to create a new VM ID, and copy the VM files or use them in-place. When importing a VM and creating a copy of the VM files, if you choose a local volume or cluster shared volume as the destination, it will be saved to the volume’s root folder instead of under the “Hyper-V” folder. This will be fixed in the next release. For now, you can use the Browse button to manually navigate to the actual folder you want to import the VM to. VM tagging – Similar to the UI for tagging connections in Windows Admin Center, you can now tag VMs on a Hyper-V server! In the Virtual machines tool’s Inventory tab, an “Edit tags” button has been added to manage tags. These tags are saved on the Hyper-V host server and can be accessed by other admins. VM tagging is not supported in the Failover Cluster or Hyper-Converged Cluster UI yet. Tags will not show up in the clustered VM view and managing tags from this view may unintentionally overwrite or delete existing tags. Performance improvements – Significant performance improvements have been made to reduce page load time in the Virtual machines tool. Improvements to Azure integration functionality: The Azure Hybrid services tool now loads content from a feed, so that new services can be added at any time without an update of the entire tool.From the Account menu in setting, you can now switch between multiple Azure accounts.When adding a server or Windows PC to your connection list, you have a new option to log in to Azure and browse your Azure resources for the specific server or PC. At this time, Windows Admin Center only enumerates your Azure resources, but cannot guarantee connectivity. Windows Admin Center ecosystem developers: you’ll find a new menu item: Performance Profile, in the Windows Admin Center settings under the Development heading. This new tool will record your browsing session, tracking the times of each request and page load, so that you can identify opportunities to improve performance. Known issues -Windows Admin Center Preview 1906 Network – If you have configured an Azure Network Adapter, the value under Microsoft Azure Virtual Network Gateway Address will be formatted as a hyperlink but leads to an invalid address. Azure Update Management onboarding – If you have already installed the MMA agent, or install the agent using the new integration for Azure Monitor, you will not be able to onboard the server to Azure Update Management through the UI in Windows Admin Center. If Azure Update Management is already configured (whether through Admin Center or another way), you can still onboard the server to the Azure Monitor Virtual Machines Insights solution using the Windows Admin Center UI.Chrome users may see 403 Forbidden response from WAC after upgrading. The workaround is to close *all* open chrome tabs (make sure there are no chrome.exe processes running). After restarting chrome, everything will function normally. We have an error message that makes this clear, but chrome users with multiple windows admin center tabs open during upgrade will not see the message. Windows Server Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where a local user’s last logon time output from “net user username” may not be recorded even when the user has accessed the server’s network share.Fixed an issue when attempting to update Server Standard to Server Datacenter, results in error “Error: 1168. An error occurred while applying target edition component setting. The upgrade cannot proceed.”Fixed an issue when domain trust was broken when the recycle bin configured on the domains carrying the trust.Fixed an issue where an invalid file was being created in %Systemroot%\System32\LogFiles\Sum by User Access Logging. Windows Server Known Issues Using ntdsutil.exe to move of the Active Directory database files may fail with error: “Move file failed with source and Destination with error 5 (Access is denied.)”Auto-logon configured by login scripts may fail to work properlyStatus of online/offline files icon and status bar may not display an accurate status. OfflineFiles event manager logs will show the actual state of the files.PowerShell may report an incorrect NdisPhysicalMedium result on IPoIB adapterApplies to App Compat FOD MMC.exe only: Multiple Active Directory Users and Computers snap-ins added to the same MMC.exe instance could show inconsistent or no data on part of the snap-ins after adding extra columns to the UI view.  Wokaround: for UI user management, use a separate MMC for each ADUC (DSA.MSC) snap-in.Scheduled startup tasks may fail to run. An event is logged, ID 101 with the error code ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE when the failure occurs.DCPromo fails if the interface metric of the physical NIC is larger than Loopback InterfaceRenaming a domain controller may update incorrect attributes in Active Directory (msDS-AdditionalDnsHostName, msDS-AdditionalSamAccountName and servicePrincipalName attributes) leaving orphaned data behind (ValidateSPNsAndDNSHostNameActual)Domain Controller rename updates incorrect attributes in AD leaving orphaned data behind (ValidateSPNsAndDNSHostNameActual).  This can be reproduced by adding a new FQDN, setting it as primary, restarting the domain controller, then removing the current FQDN.  Checking the msDS-AdditionalDnsHostName, msDS-AdditionalSamAccountName and servicePrincipalName attributes will incorrect values.Self-service users cannot install Feature on Demand (FOD) packages and Language Packs for Windows Server Update Service (WSUS), System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), and Autopilot scenarios.After disabling and re-enabling SR-IOV capability on a NIC on Linux VM, Windows may report “Error applying Network Adapter changes.” Details will show ��The Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service encountered an unexpected error: Call was canceled by the message filter. (0x80010002).”  A side effect of this failure is that the VM will remain in a stopping state when shutting down the VM, and cannot be restarted without a power resetWhen deploying a controller VM, after the last reboot in the deployment process the controller VM is not visible.

1.4.  Support for SCCM current branch versions

Support for SCCM Current branch.

2.   SCCM 1806 Upgrade Plan

2.1.     Pre-checklist

2.1.1.       Review Microsoft .NET versions

When a site installs this update, Configuration Manager automatically installs .NET Framework 4.5.2. When this prerequisite isn’t already installed, the site installs it on each server that hosts one of the following site system roles:

Management point

Service connection point

This installation can put the site system server into a reboot pending state and report errors to the Configuration Manager component status viewer. Additionally, .NET applications on the server might experience random failures until the server is restarted.

2.1.2.       Review the version of the Windows ADK for Windows 10.

The version of the Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) should be supported for Configuration Manager version 1806.

2.1.3.       Review the site and hierarchy status for unresolved issues

Before starting an update on a site, resolve all operational issues for the site server, the site database server, and site system roles that are installed on remote computers. A site update can fail due to existing operational problems.

2.1.4.       Install all applicable critical Windows updates.

Before installing an update for Configuration Manager, install any critical OS updates for each applicable site system. These servers include the site server, site database server, and remote site system roles. If an update install requires a restart, restart the applicable servers before starting the upgrade.

2.1.5.       Disable database replicas for management points at primary sites.

Configuration Manager can’t successfully update a primary site that has a database replica for management points enabled. Before installing an update for Configuration Manager, disable database replication.

2.1.6.       Disable site maintenance tasks at each site

Before installing the update, disable any site maintenance task that might run during the time the update process is active. For example, but not limited to:

Backup Site Server

Delete Aged Client Operations

Delete Aged Discovery Data

When a site database maintenance task runs during the update installation, the update installation can fail. Before disable a task, record the schedule of the task so that it can restore its configuration after the update has been installed.

2.1.7.       Temporarily stop any antivirus software

Before updating a site, stop antivirus software on the Configuration Manager servers.

2.1.8.       Create a backup of the site database

Before installing an update on a site, back up the site database at the Primary site. This backup ensures a successful backup to use for disaster recovery.

2.2.  SCCM 1806 Upgrade

2.2.1.       Step 1 – SCCM 1806 Prerequisite Check.

Open the SCCM console and go to Administration > Updates and Servicing. If you don’t find the update 1806, click Check for updates button. Once the update is available, download the update.

If the update is not downloading, click on the button Download on the upper node. The update state will change to Downloading

You can follow the download in log or by going to Monitoring / Updates and Servicing Status, right-click your Update Name and selectShow Status

The process will first download .CAB file and will extract the file in the EasyPayloadfolder in your SCCM installation directory.

GUID: 5b823327-92d9-4908-a24c-8d8c6625f407

It can take up to 15 minutes to extract all files.

Before launching the update, we recommend launching the prerequisite check first.

Open the SCCM console

Go to Administration \ Updates and Servicing

Right-click the Configuration Manager 1806 update and select Run prerequisite check

Nothing will happen, the prerequisite check runs in the background and all menu are unavailable during the check

One way to see progress is by viewing C:\ConfigMgrPrereq.log

You can also monitor prerequisite check by going to Monitoring / Update and Servicing Status, right-click your Update Name and select Show Status

When completed the State column will show Prerequisite check passed

2.2.2.       Step 2 – SCCM 1806 – Installing Updates.

We are now ready to launch the SCCM 1806 update. At this point, plan about 45 minutes to install the update.

Right-click the Configuration Manager 1806 update and select Install Update Pack

On the General tab, click Next

On the Featurestab, checkboxes on the features you want to enable during the update

Don’t worry, if you don’t select one of the features now and want to enable it later, you’ll be able to so by using the console Administration \ Updates and Servicing \ Features

In the Client Update Options, select the desired option for your client update

This option allows updating only client’s member of a specific collection.

On the License Termstab, accept the license terms and click Next

On the Summarytab, review your choices, click Next and close the wizard on the Completion tab

The whole process can take up to a minute, but the installation begins on the back end.

We suggest you monitor the progress, by navigating to Monitoring / Updates and Servicing Status, right-click your Update Nameand select Show Status

The status is not updated in real time. Use the Refresh button to update.

Open the SCCM log SCCM Installation Directory\Logs\CMUpdate.log with CMtrace.

When completed, you’ll notice the message There are no pending update package to be processed in the log file

Monitoring / Updates and Servicing Status, right-click your Update Nameand select Show Status, the last step will be Installation Succeeded

Refresh theUpdates and Servicing node in Administration, the State column will be Installed

2.2.3.       Step 3 – SCCM 1806 – Console Update.

As a previous Cumulative update, the console has an auto-update feature. At console opening, if the console is not running the latest version, we will receive a warning and the update will start automatically.

Since all update’s operations were initiated from the console, we didn’t close it during the process. We received a warning message when clicking certain objects. You will have the same message when opening a new console

Click OK, console restart and update will start automatically

Wait for the process to complete. The process can be followed here inC:\ConfigMgrAdminUISetup.log and C:\ConfigMgrAdminUISetupVerbose.log. Once completed, the console will open, and you’ll be running the latest version.

2.3.  Component Server’s

Once successful installation of current Branch 1806 on the Primary server, Management Points and IBCM servers should get updated on their own as per the process.

2.4.       Upgrade Post-checklist.

2.4.1.       SCCM 1806 – Console Version verification.

After setup is completed, verify the build number of the console. If the console upgrade was successful, the build number will be X and the version is now Version 1806.

Beginning with 1802, this is a new version nomenclature for the console. The console will no longer include the main build number (8634). The last 2 numbers refer to the admin console build number. For example, in Configuration Manager version 1806 the initial site version is 5.0.8692.1000, and the initial console version is 5.1806.1074.1200. The build (1074) and revision (1200) numbers may change with future hotfixes to the 1806 release.

2.4.2.       Server’s

Go to Administration \ Site Configuration \ Sites

Right-click your site and select Properties

Verify the Versionand Build number

2.4.3.       Clients

The client version will be updated to 5.00.8692.1003. 

There will be 2 client packages would be updated:

Navigate to Software Library \ Application Management \ Packages

Check if the update is successful, otherwise, select both packages and initiate a Distribute Contentto your distribution points

2.4.4.       Boot Images

Boot images will automatically update during setup.

Go to Software Library / Operating Systems / Boot Images

Select your boot image and check the lastContent Status date. It should match your setup date.

2.4.5.       Reconfigure database replicas for management points

Once site has completed update a primary site, reconfigure the database replica for management points that you uninstalled before you updated the site.

2.4.6.       Reconfigure any disabled maintenance tasks

If there are any disabled database maintenance tasks at a site before installing the update, reconfigure those tasks. Use the same settings that were in place before the update.

2.4.7.       Third-party extensions

If there was any in use third party extensions like Right Click Tool, to Configuration Manager, update them to the latest version to support Configuration Manager version 1806.

2.4.8.       Update custom boot images and media

Use the Update Distribution Points action for any boot image that you use, whether its a default or custom boot image. This action makes sure that clients can use the latest version. Even if there isn’t a new version of the Windows ADK, the Configuration Manager client components may change with an update. If you don’t update boot images and media, task sequence deployments may fail on devices.

2.5.       SCCM Client upgrade.

2.5.1.       Plan for client Piloting

Plan to test a new Configuration Manager client version in a pre-production collection before upgrading the rest of the site with it. Once this is done, only devices that are part of the test collection are upgraded. Once the upgrade is successful, we can promote the client, which makes the new version of the client software available to the rest of the site.

There are 3 basic steps to testing clients in pre-production.

Configure automatic client upgrades to use a pre-production collection.

Install a Configuration Manager update that includes a new version of the client.

Promote the new client to production.

To configure automatic client upgrades to use a pre-production collection.

Set up a collectionthat contains the computers you want to deploy the pre-production client to.

In the Configuration Manager console open Administration> Site Configuration > Sites and choose Hierarchy Settings.

On the Client Upgrade tab of the Hierarchy Settings Properties:

Select Upgrade all clients in the pre-production collection automatically using pre-production client

Enter the name of a collection to use as a pre-production collection

Once upgrade is successful, the installation of SCCM agents on all Endpoints can be started.
