Pharmacists play a critical role in ensuring patient safety in both inpatient and outpatient settings. This article describes results from the 2021 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists national survey regarding inpatient pharmacy practice. Findings suggest that more pharmacists have prescribing authority and are increasingly recognized for their role in personalized drug therapy, but nearly three-quarters of respondents reported concerns about pharmacy staffing shortages.
