Pharmacists on the ward: a prescription for savings?

NCT ID NCT02887001

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether having a clinical pharmacist work with doctors in two hospital units (infectious diseases and internal medicine) could improve the quality of prescriptions and reduce costs. Researchers tracked 500 patients to see if the pharmacist's involvement led to fewer medication errors and better use of drugs. The goal was to see if this approach, already common in some countries, could work in a French hospital.
