Implementation and evaluation of an overnight critical care pharmacist shift
This initiative increased institutional compliance with foundational patient care recommendations from 6.2% to 67.2%. Implementation of overnight critical care pharmacists led to an increase in the number of interventions documented over time without a significant corresponding increase in the time to order verification and administration. Opportunities exist for further optimization of clinical activities during the overnight hours.
