The Impact of Clinical Pharmacist-Driven Weekend Antimicrobial Stewardship Coverage at a Quaternary Hospital
The pharmacist-driven weekend AMS is an opportunity for pharmacists to intervene and optimize patients' care plans. This initiative demonstrated significant increased AMS-related interventions, promoted judicious antimicrobial use, and contributed to a reduced length of hospital stay. Our findings need to be replicated in a larger prospective study.
