Consensus recommendations for the integration of critical care pharmacists on intensive care unit teams: Endorsed by the American Association of Critical‐Care Nurses, American College of Clinical Pharmacy, American Society of Health‐System Pharmacist
The care of critically ill patients requires an interprofessional team. Critical care pharmacists are essential members of that interprofessional team. The purpose of these Consensus Recommendations is to present standards and guidance for individual pharmacists, institutions, and standard-setting bodies regarding best practices for the team integration of critical care pharmacists. Twenty one individuals were invited to serve on an interprofessional expert panel. A modified Delphi approach was used to structure the consensus process for generating the consensus recommendation statements. A total of 10 consensus recommendation statements were developed along with implementation guidance, process and outcome metrics, and a future agenda for research and advocacy.
