The clinical role of pharmacists in a correctional facility has not been fully described. We report the proportion of patients assessed by a pharmacist within 48 hours of admission to a large correctional facility. Of those assessed, the frequency and type of pharmacist interventions were described. A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients admitted to the Edmonton Remand Center (ERC) from September to November 2017. From 1,500 patients, 518 (34.5%) were assessed by a pharmacist, and 511 (98.6%) of those received one or more pharmacist interventions. Interventions were most commonly health care provider interactions (89.0%) and drug therapy interventions (76.1%). ERC pharmacists assessed a sizable proportion of admitted patients, with most receiving at least one pharmacist intervention.

Machine learning (ML) is a promising tool in assisting clinical decision-making for improving diagnosis and prognosis, especially in developing regions. It is often used with large samples, aggregating data from different regions and hospitals. However, it is unclear how this affects predictions in local centers.

We examined the number of patients tested for serum ethanol concentration (SEC) at admission to a large Emergency Department (ED) and the relationship of SEC with sex and age. SEC was analysed by enzymatic method. We retrieved SEC in patient samples from the ED during 2015-2020 from the laboratory information system.

Background: Patient notes contain substantial information but are difficult for computers to analyse due to their unstructured format. Large-language models (LLMs), such as Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4), have changed our ability to process text, but we do not know how effectively they handle medical notes. We aimed to assess the ability of GPT-4 to answer predefined questions after reading medical notes in three different languages.
