Impact of pharmacist interventions provided in the emergency department on quality use of medicines: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Pharmacists are increasingly involved in the emergency department (ED) medication process. This review summarizes the characteristics and impacts of interventions. The most common type of intervention is medication review/reconciliation and/or identification and resolution of medication errors. Interventions including pharmacist co-prescribing or co-charting in the ED resulted in the largest reduction in medication errors.
