This study evaluated the impact of the PeRiopErative and Prescribing (PREP) pharmacist, who is responsible for obtaining the best possible medication history and preparing discharge prescriptions. Results indicate that the inclusion of the PREP pharmacist on the multidisciplinary surgical team improved the accuracy of medication histories, inpatient prescribing, and discharge prescriptions for high-risk patients.
