Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
University of Rochester (NY) Medical Center has had a pharmacist in its ED since 2000, and physicians and nurses have welcomed the change. Researchers in the ED have shown that this strategy has helped reduce door-to-balloon time by 11 minutes and improve appropriateness of antimicrobial therapy. They are immediately available for trauma cases, where there's an urgent need for timely administration of medications. They free up doctors and nurses for other patient care activities, while they deal with medication concerns. They might recommend the most appropriate medication in a difficult case or therapies the physician might not have considered. |
