Multicenter Study
A prospective, multicenter study of pharmacist activities resulting in medication error interception in the emergency department.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the activities of pharmacists that lead to medication error interception in the emergency department (ED). ⋯ Pharmacists' review of written or computerized medication orders accounts for only a third of medication error interceptions. Most medication error interceptions occur during consultative activities.
