Study Objective: Determine whether an expanded emergency medicine (EM) pharmacist scope of practice reduces the frequency of major delays in subsequent antibiotic administration in patients boarded in the emergency department (ED).
Methods: A pre-post, quasi-experimental study conducted from November 2019-March 2020 at a single-center tertiary academic medical center following the implementation of an expanded EM pharmacist scope of practice. Adult patients were included if they received an initial antibiotic dose in the ED and deemed to be high-risk.
A major stride in the advancement of emergency medicine pharmacy.

Purpose: Strategies proposed during a patient care impact program for implementing emergency department (ED) pharmacy services are described.
Summary: In June 2007, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists developed a patient care impact program entitled "Introducing an Emergency Department Pharmacist into Your Institution" to provide experiential training to practicing pharmacists seeking to establish ED services in their institutions. Under the guidance of four mentors, 19 pharmacists from a variety of practice settings, including community-based hospitals and academic and tertiary-care-based institutions, were selected for participation the six-month program.
Study Objective: We assess the impact of emergency department (ED) pharmacists on reducing potentially harmful medication errors.
Methods: We conducted this observational study in 4 academic EDs. Trained pharmacy residents observed a convenience sample of ED pharmacists' activities.
Background: Internationally, Factor IX complex (FIX complex) has been used to correct warfarin-induced coagulopathy. We present our experience with 28 patients using FIX complex.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted between November 2002 and July 2006 on patients with warfarin-induced coagulopathy.
