[Diffusion of pharmacist interventions within the framework of clinical pharmacy activity in the clinical ward].

Background: Computerised physician order entry (CPOE) and the integration of a pharmacist in clinical wards have been shown to prevent medication errors.

Objectives: The objectives were to describe interventions performed by a clinical pharmacist integrated into clinical wards with CPOE, to assess the acceptance of interventions by prescribers, and to describe factors associated with acceptance.

Methods: A 3-week prospective study was conducted in five wards of a 2000-bed French teaching hospital.
