Improve Core Processes for Ordering Medications:
Ensure Pharmacist Review of All Medication Orders
Pharmacists have a critical role in the prevention of adverse drug events. Every medication order should be reviewed by a pharmacist to ensure appropriate selection of drug, dose, route, and frequency as well as to check for interactions with other medications. Pharmacists can conduct the reviews either in the pharmacy or on patient care units if they have access to patients’ profile information.
