Enhancing medication safety practices in hospital pharmacy: A systematic review
Keywords:
healthcare, hospital, medication, mortality, patient, pharmacyAbstract
Hospital pharmacies can engage in a systematic review of their policies, processes, and procedures against evidence-based best practice standards to identify and address any underlying conditions that may lead to medication errors. Second, plans to scale up or redesign processes should be undertaken with an understanding of the scope of the problem and with patient safety in mind. Currently, there is limited evidence available that identifies the challenges and opportunities for enhancing medication safety activities in hospital pharmacies. Understanding the origins and limitations of the current situation at the international level may facilitate knowledge translation and promotion, which may inform, at a minimum, hospital pharmacists’ priorities and focus on practice. Additionally, this systematic review may be of use to other stakeholders in the healthcare system to assess the context of care with which their members and participants may come into contact.
