| Since the inception of clinical pharmacy services in our Emergency Department, collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach to patient care has been our utmost priority. Over the course of 2 years, the development of pharmacists' roles within the ED has led to enhanced patient care, reduced workload for ED physicians secondary to pharmacist-managed culture review, and an environment in which collaboration is encouraged. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more details regarding pharmacy services in an Emergency Department setting. |
