NCT ID NCT07727278
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether giving pharmacists access to a national medication database (PharmaCloud) helps them compile a more accurate medication history and catch errors more efficiently in hospitalized patients. Adults on at least one chronic medication are enrolled and assigned to standard care or the database-enhanced approach. The study measures how long it takes to build a medication history and how many unintentional discrepancies are found.
