Investigating the Effects of Pharmacist Involvement on Emergency Department Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Although previous literature has shown that pharmacists improve quality-of-care measures in the ED, the findings of the current study suggest that ED pharmacists' services could be optimized further by targeting activities that reduce LOS and return visits. The study emphasizes the need for high-quality research on ED pharmacist practice to optimize clinical pharmacy services in the ED.
