To challenge the standard of practice by evaluating the identification of medication discrepancies found depending on type of access to an electronic health record (EHR). In other words, is there a difference in the number of discrepancies between a pharmacist with only access to the postacute long-term care (PALTC) EHR (ie, single-access pharmacist [SAP]) compared with a pharmacist with access to both the PALTC and hospital EHRs (ie, dual-access pharmacist DAP) In October 2018, the Improving Medicare PostAcute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act mandated admission drug review (DRR) upon admission to a postacute, long-term care (PALTC) facility.
This was a prospective study investigating the occurrence of medication therapy problems (MTP) identified by two different DRR processes; SAP versus DAP.

Two lectin-binding methods were investigated as possible ways of monitoring the glycosylation of human monoclonal antibodies during their development and production. Carbohydrate composition was assessed in various preparations that were produced in different host cell types, cell sublines or batches of the same cells. The lectin binding was measured with ELISA and surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
