简要总结
The study aims to document the utility of Methodist Charlton Medical Center (MCMC's)Emergency Medicine Pharmacist (EMP) Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA )utilization for the resolution of outpatient prescription issues. Evaluation of utility will involve describing all EMP-written prescriptions pursuant to resolution of prescription issues realized after discharge.
详细描述
Use of an EMP CPA, which allows for broad prescriptive authority, will assist Emergency Department (ED )workflow by preventing a significant volume of new prescriptions needing to be sent by physician and mid-level providers. Will improve rates of ED re-visits. In addition, this Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) will not be associated with a large volume of new prescription errors.
