Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how a resident physician educational program in a pediatric emergency department impacts pharmacy interventions and reduces medication errors, including dose adjustments and adverse drug events.
- During a 9-month period, the ED pharmacist tracked interventions and errors across three phases: pre-observational, observational, and interventional, with significant findings analyzed statistically.
- Results showed a notable decrease in dose adjustments and order clarifications after the program, along with a positive response from residents and ED staff, indicating increased awareness and pharmacist involvement.
