Summary

This study tested whether having a clinical pharmacist review medications when patients move to the intensive care unit reduces errors. Researchers tracked 126 patients transferred within Alexandria Main University Hospital. They compared prescriptions checked by pharmacists versus those checked by doctors alone. The goal was to see if pharmacists catch more mistakes in doses, timing, or unnecessary drugs.
