Description
This presentation will describe a model emergency pharmacist (EPh) program and explore how such a program can be developed and supported. The preliminary results of a large clinical study measuring the impact of an emergency pharmacist will be presented, including a discussion of medication-related quality measures for evaluating the success of such programs. Breakout sessions will identify barriers as well as solutions to implementation of EPh programs.
